On the 13th day of his indefinite hunger strike, student leader Shubham Rewad has now also given up water and medical treatment. His condition at SMS Hospital is critical, causing outrage among supporters.
Having already given up food, Shubham also completely renounced water on Tuesday. Along with this, he has flatly refused to take any kind of medical treatment, making the situation alarming.
Shubham Rewad, admitted to SMS Hospital, was kept under the intensive supervision of doctors. According to hospital sources, he has become extremely weak due to fasting for 13 days.
Until now, efforts were being made to keep him stable through necessary fluids (drip). But now he has had the drip removed and has refused any life-saving treatment or tests.
Doctors say that after giving up water and refusing treatment, the situation can become 'critical' at any moment. There is a constant threat of a rapid fall in blood pressure and sugar levels, which could prove fatal.
From his hospital bed, the student leader has issued a direct warning to the state government and administration. Shubham clearly states that the government is continuously ignoring the legitimate demands of the students.
He has announced that this fight of his is now decisive. Until his demands are met on the ground, he will continue his complete boycott of treatment and water.
As the news of Shubham's 'renunciation of water' and refusal of treatment spread, there was a huge uproar among his supporters and the student community. A large number of students have gathered outside SMS Hospital and are shouting slogans against the government.
The protestors say that if anything untoward happens to Shubham's health, the state government and administration will be entirely responsible.
Given the seriousness of the situation, a heavy police force has been deployed in and around the SMS Hospital premises. Every passing hour is now considered crucial.
