Hunger striker Sonam Wangchuk confronts police after 26-day fast
Sonam Wangchuk, who ended a 26-day hunger strike, shared a YouTube video showing a confrontation with police at Safdarjung Hospital after being denied leave to shift to Medanta Hospital in Gurgaon. Despite a court ruling granting permission around 2 pm, the hospital staff did not allow him to move until 7 pm, citing non-receipt of the order. Wangchuk alleged that his stay was like detention with restricted access and constant police surveillance. He expressed frustration over being forced to argue for his rights after such prolonged fasting and shared the video to clarify doubts about his intentions.
