It was done under very suspicious circumstances, even though the police claims that this was done in keeping with the order of the High Court to monitor Sonam Vangchuk's health. There are visuals that have emerged which show the police having used bedsheets as cover and plain-clothes policemen who came to escort Sonam Vangchuk out. A bunch of protesters were also assaulted in that process, even though the police says that they maintained restraint. Abhijit Deepke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party here has announced that he will start a hunger strike of his own from today.
