Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke claimed that activist Sonam Wangchuk was about to end his fast on July 20, but he decided to continue after the police brutality during the CJP protests. Dipke stated that according to Wangchuk's doctors, his body can tolerate a hunger strike for 20-21 days, beyond which his life would be in threat.
