September 12, 2015 23:49

One more FTII student, who was on hunger strike against Gajendra Chauhan's appointment as the Chairman of the prestigious institute, was tonight admitted to a private hospital, taking the number of protesters hospitalised to two.

"Alok Arora was hospitalised tonight after he felt unwell with a drop in sugar level," Rahat Jain, a students' representative said.

Last night, Hilal Savad, an electronic cinematography student was hospitalised on advice of the FTII doctors after his condition deteriorated. Three students had started indefinite hunger strike on Thursday, intensifying the ongoing agitation against appointment of actor and BJP member as the FTII chairman.

The FTII administration after failing to dissuade them from going on hunger strike has appointed its medical personnel to monitor condition of the fasting students who are taken to a private hospital if necessary on doctors' advice.
