Wangchuk earlier paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat on June 28 before beginning his indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in the national capital to support students protesting alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG examination.
Since joining the protest on June 28, he had been on an indefinite fast for 26 days. On July 18, he was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital, where he claimed to have been kept in detention.
After an order from the Delhi High Court, Wangchuk was later shifted to Medanta Hospital.
Headed by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), the 36-day agitation of the students came to an on Saturday with the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as the Union Education Minister. The protest had initially started on June 20.
