Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) dismissed Professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam, a Congress Member of Parliament, following an internal inquiry that found evidence of inappropriate conduct and unwelcome physical contact involving at least 11 female students. Following the university’s decision, the Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Akoijam under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and has summoned the MP for questioning. Akoijam has rejected the allegations, characterizing the dismissal as a political ‘witch hunt’ intended to silence his advocacy for Manipur and Northeast India. He claims the university administration bypassed principles of natural justice and has expressed intentions to challenge the decision in court. He has specifically contested claims that he sought sexual favors in exchange for academic marks. The allegations have escalated into a significant political confrontation. A delegation of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) women Members of Parliament met with President Droupadi Murmu to seek the suspension of Akoijam from Parliament and to seek protection for the students involved. Protesters, including the BJP Mahila Morcha, have held demonstrations in cities such as Delhi and Varanasi, demanding his expulsion and prosecution under the POCSO Act.
