Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk continues hunger strike over exam paper leaks as health deteriorates
Sonam Wangchuk, a 59-year-old Indian engineer-turned-activist, has been on a hunger strike in New Delhi since June 28, 2026, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam paper leaks. As of July 14, 2026, his 17th day of fasting, he has lost 8.5kg and his health is worsening, prompting opposition leaders to urge him to end the fast. The protest is held at Jantar Mantar in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party, a Gen Z-led movement with 22 million Instagram followers.
