According to the police, the accused painted the murals without obtaining permission, leading authorities to initiate legal action. Officials said the artwork appeared on public walls in the busy Khanapara locality, prompting complaints and an investigation.
Police confirmed that two separate FIRs have been lodged at different police stations in connection with the incident. The cases are currently under investigation, and officials are working to identify all those involved.
While the police have not disclosed the specific legal provisions invoked, they stated that the action was taken because the murals were painted on public property without authorisation.
The development comes at a time when Sonam Wangchuk has been at the centre of national attention due to his recent public protests and activism. However, police clarified that the current cases relate specifically to the unauthorised painting of murals on public walls and not to Wangchuk himself.
Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
