A day after Prashant Kishor, the founder of Jan Suraaj Party, was arrested for his 'illegal' fast unto death and then released on bail, it was discovered on Tuesday that he was suffering from dehydration. As a result, he was taken to a private healthcare facility in Patna by party leaders in an ambulance, after a doctor had visited him at his home and advised him to seek hospitalization.
The doctor stated that there were some medical concerns that needed to be thoroughly examined. Kishor appeared to be suffering from an infection, dehydration, and overall weakness, causing him discomfort. Despite this, Kishor made it clear to reporters before leaving for the hospital that his fast unto death would continue.
Kishor's arrest had taken place early in the morning on Monday, following an FIR that was filed against him last week. This was in response to his 'fast unto death' protest at Gandhi Maidan, which went against a Patna High Court order that strictly forbids any such demonstrations at locations other than Gardani Bagh locality in the city. However, he was released on bail soon after.
The reason behind Kishor's hunger strike was to support a protest by civil service aspirants who were demanding the cancellation of Bihar Public Service Commission exams held the previous month. Allegations of the question paper being leaked had sparked this protest. Kishor began his hunger strike on January 2 and was arrested on January 6.
This turn of events has raised concerns about the health of Kishor and the well-being of his ongoing protest. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and what actions will be taken by both Kishor and the authorities involved.
