  "summary": "Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam, dismissed as a professor from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) after an internal inquiry into sexual harassment allegations, appeared before police on Thursday. The Delhi Police had summoned him to join the investigation following a notice served on Wednesday. Akoijam, who arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport from Manipur, expressed his willingness to cooperate, stating that the case is political. He also accused JNU Vice-Chancellor Santishree D Pandit of lying about the internal inquiry against him. The FIR was registered on October 11, based on a complaint by the Chief Security Officer at JNU, alleging sexual harassment, making sexually colored remarks, and unwelcome physical contact. The allegations, which occurred between July 2025 and May 2026, were assessed by JNU's Internal Committee, which found a pattern of inappropriate personal interaction, sexually suggestive conduct, and inadequate professional boundaries in interactions with female students.",
