Wangchuk's vital parameters remain stable: Safdarjung Hospital
Sonam Wangchuk remains hospitalized with stable vitals but persistent medical concerns due to his prolonged hunger strike in support of the Cockroach Janta Party protest in Delhi.

Through the Reader lens — Activist Sonam Wangchuk remains hospitalized in Delhi on an indefinite hunger strike in support of the Cockroach Janta Party, demanding accountability for police action against youth protesters. Doctors report his vitals are stable but warn of persistent medical risks because he continues to refuse intravenous fluids as his strike lengthens. The strike has turned into a high-visibility political flashpoint, drawing national media attention and raising pressure on local authorities. Coverage is neutral on the facts of his health but implicitly framed around the protest’s legitimacy and the government’s handling of prior police action against youth demonstrators. No official government response or concession has been reported yet, leaving the strike’s trajectory—and its potential to escalate—unclear. Watch for any deterioration in Wangchuk’s condition or police/government statements regarding the accountability demand, both of which could rapidly reshape the story.
What to watch next
- Watch for clinical deterioration or hospital escalation.
- Monitor government/police response to accountability demand.
- Watch for protests expanding beyond Delhi.
- If IV fluids are forced or accepted, story shifts sharply.
