FIR Registered Against Congress MP and Former JNU Professor Over Sexual Harassment Allegations
Delhi Police registered an FIR against Congress MP and former JNU professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam on sexual harassment charges following complaints by at least 11 female students. The university dismissed Akoijam after an internal inquiry found a recurring pattern of inappropriate conduct, including unwelcome physical contact and sexually suggestive remarks. Akoijam denies the allegations, alleging procedural lapses and a politically motivated campaign. The police investigation is ongoing, with both the university and Akoijam disputing aspects of the inquiry process.
