Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam has been expelled from Jawaharlal Nehru University following sexual harassment accusations, as reported by India Today.
Congress legislator Angomcha Bimol Akoijam was dismissed from Jawaharlal Nehru University after the institution received formal complaints of sexual harassment against him. The university's disciplinary committee reviewed the allegations and concluded that the conduct warranted immediate expulsion, citing its zero‑tolerance policy on harassment.
India Today confirmed the decision, noting that the MP, who represents a constituency in the northeastern state of Manipur, faced mounting pressure from student groups and faculty members demanding accountability. No criminal charges have been filed yet, and the matter remains under internal university scrutiny.
The expulsion underscores the growing emphasis on campus safety in Indian higher‑education institutions and adds to ongoing debates about the conduct of public representatives in academic settings.
