New Delhi, Oct. 3 -- Sonam Wangchuk's wife Gitanjali J. Angmo has moved the Supreme Court challenging his arrest and seeking his release. The climate activist has been lodged in the Jodhpur jail in Rajasthan since he was taken into custody following the September 24 violent Ladakh clashes.

According to official records, Angmo filed her plea at the top court on October 2, Thursday.

This comes a day after the climate activist's wife sought President Droupadi Murmu's immediate intervention for Sonam Wangchuk's release.
