NEW DELHI, 21 Jul: Activist Sonam Wangchuk was discharged from the Safdarjung Hospital on Tuesday evening and shifted to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram for further treatment in compliance with a Delhi High Court order, Safdarjung Hospital authorities said.
The Delhi High Court ordered immediate shifting of Wangchuk, who has been on an indefinite fast since 28 June over alleged examination irregularities, from the Safdarjung Hospital here to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram.
“At the time of discharge, his vital parameters were stable. However, pancytopenia persists, and his serum potassium level was 3.4 mEq/L,” doctors at Safdarjung Hospital said.
Earlier, a bench of Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia passed the order on an appeal by the activist’s wife, Gitanjali Angmo, against a Sunday order of the high court refusing to interfere with his ongoing treatment at the central government hospital and direct his transfer to Medanta Hospital.
