Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has dismissed Professor and Congress Lok Sabha MP from Inner Manipur, Dr. Angomcha Bimol Akoizam. The university found him guilty of sexually harassing 11 girl students. The dismissal has been implemented with immediate effect. This action was taken based on the findings of the investigation by the Internal Committee (IC) of the university. IC had recommended heavy punishment against Bimol Akoizam. After the Manipur violence in 2023, he entered active politics. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he contested from ‘Inner Manipur’ seat on Congress Party ticket and was elected MP by defeating the BJP candidate by more than 1 lakh votes. Before taking action to remove Akoizam after complaining to the Vice Chancellor, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) had sought a report from the JNU administration on the matter. The Commission had sought this report in September on the allegations of 11 girl students. The students had alleged that they had given a complaint against the professor to JNU Vice Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit in May 2026. The girl students alleged that no proper action was taken on their complaint at that time. Gupta had asked the university administration to submit the report in three days. Angom Bimol Akoijam, active after the Manipur violence in 2023, has been a JNU professor and social activist. He hails from Manipur and has been a long-time vocal voice on social and human rights issues of the state. After the Manipur violence in 2023, he entered active politics. At present, there is no threat to Bimol’s membership as MP, because according to the law, MP membership is canceled only when the court sentences him to a jail term of at least 2 years in a criminal case. In Parliament, he is known for his sharp and influential speeches on restoration of peace in Manipur, rehabilitation of victims and rights of the North-East.
