Sonam Wangchuk hospitalised after 21-day hunger strike over exam leaks

Social activist Sonam Wangchuk was hospitalized against his will in Delhi after his health deteriorated during a 21-day hunger strike. The strike was initiated to demand the resignation of India's federal education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, over alleged exam paper leaks that impacted millions of students. Wangchuk, 59, had been fasting in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a group advocating for educational reforms. His protest gained significant attention nationwide and drew support through widespread social media engagement. Despite his objections, authorities moved him to a government hospital following a court order and medical recommendations.
