Authorities imposed a curfew across the town, while more than 48 people were detained in connection with the violence. Security forces said dozens of personnel were also hurt as protesters allegedly attacked police and ransacked government buildings, while local groups accused the forces of opening direct fire on demonstrators.

The scale of injuries, detentions, and the government’s immediate resort to curfew and large security deployment underscored the gravity of the situation in Leh.

According to NDTV, he was booked under the National Security Act (NSA) on allegations of inciting the protests through provocative speeches. His arrest has intensified tensions in Ladakh and cast a shadow over the scheduled talks between local leaders and the Central government.
