NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday allowed activist Sonam Wangchuk to be shifted from a government hospital to a private hospital, after his wife petitioned the court alleging he was being held in "illegal detention", legal news website Bar and Bench said.Wangchuk, 59, had been on a hunger strike since June 28 in solidarity with India's youth-led 'cockroach movement' that is demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over medical college entrance test paper leaks.On Saturday, police picked him up from the protest site in New Delhi where he had been fasting and moved him to hospital against his wish.The police said they were acting on the orders of the same court last week to monitor Wangchuk's health and intervene if it worsens.
