Sonam Wangchuk hunger strike & NEET accountability protests (2026)
After the NEET-UG 2026 leak and cancellation, education reformer Sonam Wangchuk joined student protests and began a long hunger strike demanding accountability. July 2026 coverage tracked his hospital stay, conditions to end the fast, and Sansad Chalo marches.
Paper leaks are not only a CBI file. They are a street and conscience fight. Wangchuk put his body on that line.
From late June 2026 he fasted over exam-system failure. Student and civic groups demanded the Education Minister's resignation. Wangchuk's own later conditions stressed government accountability and Parliament debate, while protests continued in Delhi.
Police action around Sansad Chalo and his shift to Safdarjung Hospital are part of the public record. Read his fighter profile for the human story. Read the NEET-UG 2026 scam entry for the leak paperwork.
What is proven here
Proof level: major national coverage of an ongoing protest and hunger strike in June–July 2026. Demands evolved in public statements. Not a court conviction entry.
