A Delhi court has issued a notice to the Delhi Police regarding the anticipatory bail plea of Congress MP and former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) professor Bimol Akoijam in a sexual harassment case. The court has extended his interim protection until November 5. The matter will be heard on November 5. Akoijam is seeking anticipatory bail in a case registered at Vasant Kunj North police station following allegations of sexual harassment by 11 JNU students. The Delhi High Court has stayed his termination from the university, listing the matter for the next hearing in January 2027.
Akoijam was dismissed by JNU in October over the allegations. He has termed his dismissal a 'witch hunt' and questioned the due process. The Delhi Police registered an FIR against Akoijam on October 12, days after he was dismissed from service.
