Hunger Strike Activist's Wife Accuses Hospital of Lack of Transparency, Demands Discharge
On Saturday, Gitanjali Angmo, wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, demanded medical transparency and consent for treatment after her husband was forcibly taken to Safdarjung Hospital from Jantar Mantar. His 20-day hunger strike raised concerns over his health; potassium levels dropped dangerously low. Angmo accused the hospital of lack of transparency, heavy police deployment, and denied access to doctors who had monitored Wangchuk. She requested discharge to a chosen medical facility and planned protests across India for Monday if Wangchuk could not attend.
