Prominent Ladakhi activist Sonam Wangchuk has warned that civil society groups will form an independent "people's tribunal" unless a government-appointed judicial panel publicly releases its findings on a September 2025 incident in Leh (the administrative centre of Ladakh, a federally governed Union Territory in India's far north) in which police firing killed four people, including a Kargil war veteran. Wangchuk alleges that automatic weapons were used without lawful firing orders, and that nearly a year on — with all affidavits already submitted to the inquiry headed by retired Supreme Court judge B.S. Chauhan — no findings have been made public. To mark the anniversary, Wangchuk has announced a symbolic 20-kilometre march on 23 September, while also criticising the administration's compensation of ₹15 lakh (roughly $1,800) per fatality as insulting compared with the ₹1 crore offered in similar cases in Delhi.
