Delhi Police Register FIR Against JNU’s Akoijam

Delhi Police registered a criminal case against Congress MP and former Jawaharlal Nehru University professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam on October 11, following a complaint by the university’s chief security officer. Police said the investigation is underway. The allegations have not been established by the registration of the case, and Akoijam has denied them. The FIR was filed at Vasant Kunj North police station under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita concerning sexual harassment and conduct intended to insult a woman’s modesty, according to police. It followed JNU’s decision two days earlier to dismiss Akoijam with immediate effect after an internal inquiry into sexual-harassment complaints. The university’s October 9 order cited the committee’s findings and applicable service rules. Reports describe 11 women students as complainants. They allege that Akoijam made inappropriate remarks and engaged in other unwelcome conduct. The supplied accounts do not include the complainants’ direct statements or the full committee report, and the allegations remain subject to investigation. The FIR’s registration starts a criminal inquiry; it does not establish guilt.
