Activist Sonam Wangchuk ends his 26-day hunger strike after assurances from the Union government regarding the NEET paper leak case. According to reports, Wangchuk meets Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh, after which he calls off the protest. NDTV reports that Wangchuk is admitted to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram and ends the hunger strike following the meeting.
The Hindu says Wangchuk ends the hunger strike late on Thursday after the Centre provides written assurances on key demands related to the NEET paper leak protests. The written commitments include steps described by the Centre as “strict action” and references to bringing stricter laws connected to the alleged leak.
Both outlets frame the development as a resolution attempt by the government through assurances made to Wangchuk, leading to the end of the prolonged protest. The reports do not specify all details of the demands or the full legislative scope, but they agree the hunger strike ends after ministerial engagement and government assurances tied to NEET-related action.
