Delhi HC Upholds Sonam Wangchuk's Treatment at Safdarjung Hospital Amid Transfer Appeal
Activist Sonam Wangchuk, on a prolonged hunger strike supporting the Cockroach Janata Party protest, was forcibly moved from Jantar Mantar to Safdarjung Hospital due to deteriorating health. The Delhi High Court declined to transfer him to a private hospital, ruling the government's action was not arbitrary and that his treatment is closely monitored by a multidisciplinary medical team. Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali Angmo, challenges the decision, citing concerns over informed consent, bodily autonomy, and hospital transparency, and has appealed for his transfer. Wangchuk remains stable but requires continuous medical observation, while his wife leads peaceful protests in his stead.
