The Delhi High Court temporarily stays the dismissal of Jawaharlal Nehru University professor and Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam over sexual-harassment allegations, while a legal challenge is heard. The court issues interim relief, directs notices to the university, and schedules further proceedings in January 2027.
Context from the outlets points to an internal university process following complaints from 11 female students, with allegations leading to a disciplinary decision on October 9. Multiple reports say Akoijam disputes aspects of the process, including questions about whether he was given proper notice before the university acted. One outlet also notes a Delhi Police FIR linked to the inquiry results and the political attention that follows. Across coverage, the central focus remains the court’s intervention and the pending review of whether the dismissal can stand.
