Delhi Police forcibly removed activist Sonam Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar and took him to Safdarjung Hospital on Saturday morning with heavy deployment at the protest site as his indefinite hunger strike stretched into its 21st day. The move came a day after Anurag Kumar took over as Delhi Police Commissioner, and set off a scramble as supporters tried to physically stop Wangchuk from being taken away, according to The Indian Express.
