Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has officially dismissed Dr. Angomcha Bimol Akoijam from his position as a professor. The university administration stated that the decision follows an internal investigation that found Dr. Akoijam guilty of sexually harassing female students. Dr. Akoijam, who currently serves as the Congress Lok Sabha MP for Inner Manipur, has rejected the findings of the university's inquiry committee.

In response to the termination, Dr. Akoijam has publicly labeled the disciplinary action as a "witch hunt." He maintains that the accusations and the subsequent dismissal process are intended to damage his reputation and political standing. The university has not released specific details regarding the incidents cited in the investigation, citing internal policy and the sensitive nature of the complaints. As of now, there is a clear divide between the university’s official stance, which asserts that the dismissal is the result of a formal disciplinary process, and Dr. Akoijam’s assertion that the proceedings were biased and politically driven. The situation remains a point of contention as Dr. Akoijam contests the legitimacy of the university's findings.
