High drama on Day 21 of Wangchuk's strike: Hospitalisation, Dipke's ‘detention’, students' lathicharge claim
Sonam Wangchuk was hospitalised on Saturday after 21 days of hunger striking in support of students demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over examination irregularities. The Delhi Police stated the hospitalisation followed a High Court order due to Wangchuk's deteriorating health, while CJP's Abhijeet Dipke claimed he was forcefully detained during the incident. Students reported a lathicharge by police at the protest site, which the police described as a 'slight commotion' as they attempted to manage the situation safely.
