Claim

The hunger strike continued through 21 July 2026 — reported as Day 24 by PTI — with Wangchuk refusing IV fluids, ORS and medication in hospital.

Verified core fact factual education chronology

Source coverage: Sonam Wangchuk's vital parameters remain stable: Safdarjung Hospital · Business Standard

Rationale

Converged across PTI, ANI and successive Safdarjung bulletins. Day-count conventions differ materially between outlets — Al Jazeera said '20 days' on 18 July where PTI reached 24 by 21 July, and Angmo said 'around 25' — so the day number is attributed to PTI rather than asserted as the case's own count.
