However, police sources said that she has been detained. Further investigation into the matter is underway, police said. The Delhi Police forcibly removed Mr. Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital after his health deteriorated during his 21-day indefinite hunger strike.
The early morning operation witnessed a brief commotion as some protesters attempted to obstruct the police action. Wangchuk had been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 28 in support of the CJP-led protest over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination. Doctors monitoring him had said he had lost nearly 9.5 kg during the fast, while his blood pressure and blood sugar levels remained under close observation.
Dipke has alleged on social media that protesters were detained and subjected to police action during the exercise.
