World News: Wife of Indian activist Wangchuk asks court to move him to private hospital

NEW DELHI - Social activist Sonam Wangchuk's wife has approached an Indian court seeking permission to transfer him from a government hospital to a private facility, alleging he was being held in “illegal detention,” she said on Sunday. “Despite repeated requests, the hospital has refused to discharge him or allow us to shift him to a private hospital of our choice,” Gitanjali Angmo said in a post on social media website X, a day after Wangchuk was moved to state-run Safdarjung Hospital against his wishes by security personnel.
