Sonam Wangchuk was moved from the Jantar Mantar protest site to Safdarjung Hospital on July 18, 2026, after 21 days of an indefinite hunger strike that began on June 28. Delhi Police cited a Delhi High Court order and health concerns as the basis for the transfer, while the Cockroach Janta Party and opposition figures alleged the action occurred without consent. The protest concerns alleged NEET examination irregularities and student deaths, with a planned march to Parliament scheduled for July 20.
