Comment (by rohitmathur7):

 I looked into this and this is my analysis:

 Problem:

 If we pass WP_Error as an argument in the wp_send_json_error() then the
 status code set in the WP_Error is not set as the status code in the
 wp_send_json_error().

 Approach:

 I am using this way to pass the WP_Error in the wp_send_json_error():

 {{{
 $error_message = 'new error';
 $error         = new WP_Error( 'error_code', $error_message, array(
 'status' => 401 ) );
 return wp_send_json_error( $error );
 }}}

 After applying changes to the code I was able to get this response:

 If this works I can provide the patch for this.

 Please correct me if I am going in the wrong direction with this.
