The Delhi High Court on Tuesday allowed activist Sonam Wangchuk to be shifted from Safdarjung Hospital to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, where he will continue to receive treatment under medical supervision, Bar and Bench reported.

Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 28 in support of the student-led Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest demanding accountability for repeated examination paper leaks and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

A wave of foreign currency inflows drawn by rupee-support measures the central bank introduced just over a month ago is adding to ​confidence in India's balance of payments position at a time of ​heightened oil-price volatility.

In its first update since the scheme was launched in early June, the Reserve ‌Bank of India said the measures had mobilised $20.72 billion through July 17, with foreign currency non-resident deposits accounting for about $17.5 billion of the total.

A day after the 'Chalo Sansad' march was met with lathi-charge, tear gas, and police barricades, protesters continued their sit-in at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Tuesday, with Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijit Dipke vowing to stay put until the government accepts their demands for education reforms and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Delhi Police is on high alert ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament and the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) proposed "Chalo Sansad" march on Monday, with heavy deployment of personnel visible at every nook and corner around Jantar Mantar, Parliament and other key locations.

Sonam Wangchuk's wife Gitanjali J Angmo on Monday moved the Delhi High Court to appeal against an order refusing to interfere with the fasting activist's ongoing treatment at Safdarjung Hospital.

In her appeal, Angmo contended that the single judge's Sunday order illegally confines Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital without any arrest and effectively directs that neither the activist nor his wife has decisive authority in determining his medical treatment.

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) will march to Parliament on Monday ahead of the first day of the Monsoon Session despite no police clearance. The group has called for the 'Chalo Sansad' march from Jantar Mantar to press for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the Neet paper leak.

Thousands gathered at Jantar Mantar on Sunday night ahead of the march.

The Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to commence on Monday, with the Lok Sabha scheduled to introduce The Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, besides taking up obituary references, Question Hour, papers to be laid on the Table, a ministerial statement, and other listed business, according to the Lok Sabha's List of Business.

The rupee weakened 12 paise to 96.42 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday due to a surge in crude oil prices and strong demand for the American currency amid the worsening West Asia crisis.

Foreign capital outflows from domestic equity markets also weighed on the Indian currency, forex traders said.

Activist Sonam Wangchuk on Monday said he would end his hunger strike if the government accepts accountability for recent failures in the education system, including paper leaks, or if Members of Parliament assure him that the issue of education accountability will be taken up during the Monsoon Session of Parliament starting from Monday.
