Sonam Wangchuk, a 59-year-old activist, was removed from his protest site in Delhi by police and admitted to hospital after his health deteriorated during a 21-day hunger strike.

The action followed his fast in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which is demanding the resignation of India's education minister over exam paper leaks affecting medical students.Police cited medical intervention as the reason for his transfer to Safdarjung Hospital, complying with Delhi High Court orders.

The CJP accused authorities of 'kidnapping' Wangchuk, alleging he was beaten and detained, while police defended the move as necessary for his health.The incident has intensified security at protest sites, with additional police and paramilitary forces deployed.

Wangchuk's hunger strike, which he vowed to continue until his death or the minister's resignation, has drawn comparisons to Gandhi's non-violent protests.The case highlights tensions between activists and the government, with Wangchuk previously jailed for alleged incitement during protests in Ladakh.His current fast underscores demands for educational reforms and accountability over the exam leaks that impacted thousands of students.
