Pune: One of the three FTII students on indefinite hunger strike since Thursday last has been hospitalised after his blood sugar levels dropped.
The students, protesting against the appointment of actor Gajendra Chauhan as the FTII chairman have been on a hunger strike for the last 2 days.
According to a statement issued by the FTII Students' Association (FSA), Hilal Savad had to be admitted in a private hospital after the institute's medical officer examined him and found that his blood sugar levels had dropped.
Meanwhile, the stalemate over the appointment of Mr Chauhan whose credentials to head the institute, have been questioned by the agitating students, continued on the 94th day today with the Information and Broadcasting Ministry maintaining its silence on the turn the strike took on Thursday.
He, however, added that "I have not been told anything" on the issue.
Earlier, Abhijit Das, a contractual faculty member at the FTII had gone on a fast demanding resolution of the current impasse over Mr Chauhan's appointment. However, he ended it on September 8 after 66 hours of fasting due to health concerns.
