Leh: Protests in Ladakh demanding statehood turned violent, leaving four dead and around 70 injured. Demonstrators torched the BJP office in Leh and a CRPF vehicle, prompting clashes with security forces. Authorities have imposed prohibitory orders. The agitation has been fueled by environmental activist Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike demanding statehood and inclusion of Ladakh under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
