Mumbai, July 18, 2026 (Doon Horizon). Delhi Police operatives executed a massive crackdown at Jantar Mantar to physically extract education reformer Sonam Wangchuk from his protest camp on the 21st day of his indefinite fast. Authorities swiftly transported the climate activist to Safdarjung Hospital under heavy security deployment. Actor Prakash Raj and music composer Vishal Dadlani launched a severe public attack on the administration regarding this unannounced police action.
Law enforcement officials issued a formal statement justifying the physical eviction based on critical medical evaluations. The police department cited direct compliance with recent instructions passed by the Delhi High Court concerning the activist’s rapidly deteriorating health parameters.
Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) member Abhijeet Dipke accused police personnel of utilizing excessive force to dismantle the gathering and initiate strict actions against student demonstrators. The confrontation unfolded just 24 hours after Wangchuk released a video confirming he had lost nearly 20 percent of his total body mass.
A nationwide mobilization campaign remains entirely active as Wangchuk urged citizens to flood the capital for the upcoming “Chalo Sansad” march scheduled for July 20. The success of this parliamentary march relies heavily on ordinary citizens stepping out to shield protesting students.
Vishal Dadlani uploaded an aggressive video broadcast expressing intense frustration over the forcible detention. The singer stated that seeing Wangchuk forcefully picked up shattered his heart and exposed sheer administrative cowardice. He directly questioned the public about their silence and admitted his overwhelming anger at the ongoing police actions.
Prakash Raj amplified the criticism through multiple posts on the social media platform X alongside screenshots of the midnight intervention. The veteran actor labeled the current administration a cowardly government imitating dictators out of pure fear. He posted a secondary update questioning the frightened nakedness hiding behind the much-touted fifty-six-inch chest persona.
Sonakshi Sinha maintained a personal silence but actively circulated footage of a female protester detailing Wangchuk’s alleged illegal detention. The Bollywood solidarity roster expanded rapidly throughout the day. Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Zeenat Aman, Shabana Azmi, Vijay Varma, Abhay Deol, Anurag Kashyap, Omi Vaidya, Sayaji Shinde, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Swara Bhasker, and Hrithik Roshan threw their absolute support behind the Ladakhi reformer.
The original hunger strike commenced on June 28 as a direct uprising against massive examination irregularities. Protesters functioning under the CJP banner are demanding the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the widespread NEET-UG paper leak scandal. The continuous demonstration has successfully forced national attention back onto the escalating crisis of student suicides.
Medical staff at Safdarjung Hospital confirm the patient has dropped exactly 9 kg since the fast began. Clinical monitors show a normal ECG reading despite the severe muscle degradation caused by three weeks of total starvation.
