In a post on X, Ms. Angmo said, “Nothing should be administered to him orally or intravenous without taking consent from me, his family and his doctors who have been monitoring his health for the past 20 days.”

Questioning the decision to hospitalise him, she claimed Mr. Wangchuk appeared fine on Friday (July 17, 2026).

“Yesterday, he was doing fine. There was no need to bring him to the hospital,” she added.

The Safdurjung Hospital issued a statement on Saturday (July 18, 2026) and added that “He is weak due to prolonged fasting and dehydration. Although he is currently stable, he requires continuous observation, monitoring and treatment to restore his body parameters.”

The Delhi Police has said that Mr. Wangchuk was shifted to the hospital for “essential medical care” following expert medical advice and in compliance with the Delhi High Court’s orders.
