Geetanjali claimed that the hospital had told her that Sonam Wangchuk’s potassium level had dropped to 2.9 and described it as a worrying and life-threatening condition. However, the public health bulletin issued by the hospital did not share the actual figure and only said that potassium levels were decreasing. He also claimed that testing by an independent laboratory found the potassium level to be 3.5, which is within normal limits.

About 30 policemen outside the ward

He alleged that despite repeated requests, the hospital administration is not allowing Sonam Wangchuk to be discharged or transferred to a private hospital of her choice. According to him, around 30 policemen are deployed outside the ward and more than 100 policemen are deployed in the entire hospital premises, limiting their movement. He called this not medical care but ‘illegal detention’.
