Delhi Police on Saturday took climate activist Sonam Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital after days of an indefinite hunger strike, prompting accusations from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj that the force tried to conceal its actions.
Bharadwaj posted a video on X showing Wangchuk being led away by officers in plain clothes. "Goons of Modi Govt Delhi Police dressed up in civil dress and sports shoes forcefully entering the protest site," he wrote. "They brought dozens of white bed-sheets to block camera views so that any violence/man-handling with Sonam Wangchuk & others is not video recorded."
Police said the removal was ordered by the Delhi High Court and based on expert medical advice after Wangchuk's health deteriorated. He had been on hunger strike since June 28 in support of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which is demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities and the NEET paper leak.
Wangchuk lost 20% of his body weight during the strike, with doctors monitoring his blood pressure and blood sugar levels closely, according to the police statement. The force said it exercised maximum restraint but that a commotion broke out when protesters tried to block the operation.
Wangchuk has called for a massive demonstration on July 20 to present the group's demands in Parliament. The CJP's protest centers on allegations of a paper leak in the NEET medical entrance exam, which has become a political flashpoint ahead of state elections.
