A Delhi court has directed the police to issue a seven‑day notice to Congress MP Akoijam in connection with a sexual harassment complaint.
A Delhi court on Tuesday instructed the Delhi Police to issue a seven‑day notice to Congress MP Akoijam in a sexual harassment case. The notice is part of the preliminary investigation process and is meant to allow the MP to respond to the allegations before further action is taken.
The court’s order follows a complaint filed by a woman who alleged that the MP had engaged in inappropriate conduct. The police are required to serve the notice within the stipulated period and report back to the court.
Akoijam, a senior member of the Indian National Congress, has previously held positions in the state government. He has denied any wrongdoing and has said he will cooperate with the investigation.
If the MP fails to comply with the notice, the court may consider further legal steps, including a formal charge sheet. The Delhi Police have confirmed they will act on the order immediately.
