Pragya on Wednesday called off the indefinite hunger strike which she started demanding she be allowed to take a dip in the Kshipra river, in Ujjain, during Simhasth Kumbh.

The Bhopal police had been denying her the visit, citing security issues, despite a court in Dewas allowing her demand on May 5.

On Tuesday, doctors at Bhopal’s Pandit Khushilal Ayurvedic Hospital, had warned that her blood pressure and heartbeat rate were not normal. She has been receiving treatment at the hospital for various ailments including cancer.
