Claim

Wangchuk was arrested by the CRPF.

Social media accounts (per Organiser) factual education disinformation

Source coverage: Fact check: Pakistan-based social media falsely labels Wangchuk's court-ordered medical transfer as 'CRPF arrest' · Organiser

Rationale

He was moved by Delhi Police to a hospital and later transferred to Medanta under a High Court order — not arrested, and not by the CRPF. This is the one item in this window whose distortion runs in the protest's FAVOUR, overstating the severity of state action against him; it is filed for the same reason the doctored pro-protest split-screen was filed earlier. Confidence is held down deliberately: the underlying correction is solidly established by mainstream reporting, but the claim that this specific 'CRPF arrest' framing circulated is attested only by Organiser, an outlet aligned with the government the protest targets, and no independent fact-check of it was located.
