Following a Delhi High Court order, he was later transferred to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram for continued treatment and monitoring, with the court permitting him to receive care at a hospital of his choice.The activist ended his 26-day indefinite fast at Medanta Hospital after discussions between government representatives and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which spearheaded the nationwide agitation.The Centre subsequently announced a series of measures on examination reforms and action against paper leaks, following which the CJP suspended its 36-day nationwide protest.
