Sonam Wangchuk's wife has publicly forbidden the Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi from administering him anything orally or intravenously without obtaining consent from her and the doctors who monitored his health throughout the course of his hunger strike. This came after the Delhi Police on Saturday removed the Ladakhi activist from Jantar Mantar, where he had been on a fast since June 28, and shifted him to the government-run hospital.

Nothing should be administered to him orally or intravenous without take consent from me, his family and his doctors who have been monitoring his health for the past 20 days," the Ladakhi activist's wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, wrote in a post on X.
Questioning the decision to hospitalise him, she claimed Wangchuk appeared fine on Friday. "Yesterday, he was doing fine. There was no need to bring him to the hospital. It's my right under Article 32. Without my consent and my doctor's consent, nothing can be administered," she said. The Delhi Police has said that Wangchuk was shifted to the hospital for "essential medical care" following expert medical advice and in compliance with the Delhi High Court's orders.
