Indian police forcibly hospitalize a prominent Cockroach Party activist on hunger strike

Indian police forcibly hospitalized Sonam Wangchuk, a 59-year-old education reform activist, after his health deteriorated during a 20-day hunger strike linked to the Cockroach Party movement demanding education reform. The movement, which originated after a Supreme Court justice compared unemployed youth to 'cockroaches,' seeks resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and system reforms. Activists disputed the hospitalization, claiming it was an attempt to suppress the protest.
