NEW DELHI: Gitanjali J Angmo, wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, on Saturday questioned the presence of police personnel at Medanta Hospital and outside his ICU, asking under what authority they were restricting access to him if a court had clarified that he was not under detention.
In a post on X, Angmo said, “At both Safdarjung and now Medanta, police are everywhere. At the main gate. The reception. The lifts. Outside @Wangchuk66’s ICU. They decide who may or may not meet him.”
“If the Court has clarified that he is not under detention, then under what authority is this happening? In an enlightened democracy, is the role of the police to protect citizens and uphold the law, or to control citizens on behalf of those in power? These are questions every Indian should be asking,” she added.
