Police have forcibly removed a prominent activist from a protest site in New Delhi and taken him to hospital, saying his health was deteriorating from a hunger strike over alleged corruption in India’s exam system.
Sonam Wangchuk, 59, was removed on Saturday from the protest site at the Jantar Mantar, a park housing large 18th-century astronomical devices, 20 days into a fast that has become a focal point of a campaign by mainly youthful activists demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
