Suraj Lokhande, a Shiv Sena (UBT) leader who got Rohit Arya admitted to the hospital after the latter lost consciousness during an indefinite hunger strike in 2024, has come forward with a detailed account of the incident and a strong appeal to the government.
Lokhande recalled the day vividly, “While passing through Navi Peth near the Pune Patrakar Sangh office, I noticed a man lying on the road, trembling. Many people were standing around, but no one stepped forward to help. Believing that public service is the truest duty, I tried to revive him, but despite repeated attempts, he didn’t regain consciousness. Finally, I called the 108 ambulance service and informed the local police. Cops and doctors arrived immediately and contacted his family. Only then did we realise that the man had been on an indefinite hunger strike for nearly a month, protesting against the government.”
