High Court Directive Leads to Hospitalisation of Jantar‑Mantar Protester

On the morning of July 18, Delhi police acted on a High Court directive to transport protester Sonam Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital. The DCP’s official X account reported that the move was carried out according to daily health checks and the court’s instructions.

While en route, a handful of demonstrators attempted to block the police vehicle, resulting in a brief altercation. Officers managed the situation calmly and ensured the activist’s safe passage.

At the hospital, physicians confirmed that Wangchuk’s condition had weakened due to an extended fast, noting dehydration and low energy levels. She was placed under continuous monitoring, with further tests being conducted by specialists to assess her health comprehensively.
