Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike in New Delhi after negotiations with the government, saying he acted to avert possible violence while pressing for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over exam paper leaks. The fast had become a focal point for the youth-led “Cockroach” movement, whose protesters said they would continue sit-ins in the capital. Thousands remained camped in New Delhi despite police restrictions and earlier tear gas and baton charges. Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised fast-track courts to punish officials accused of leaking exam papers.
