Inner Manipur Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam said he was at a meeting when he got messages from well-wishers about some posts on X that alleged he was thrashed by a mob after a road accident in south Delhi's Munirka

 

Mr Akoijam in a video statement said he was at a meeting when he got messages from well-wishers about some posts on X that alleged he was thrashed by a mob after a road accident in south Delhi's Munirka. He said he had to stop the meeting to give a statement to assure people that nothing of the sort happened, and that he was fine.

"I am giving this statement after hearing many people were concerned about me... This rumour, don't believe it, I'm perfectly alright. A non-event has been turned into an event and spread on social media. And some people will thrive on that. Our legal team is looking into it. We're already in touch with the cyber crime branch here. We will take necessary action," said the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) professor who won the general election this year in his first contest by defeating the BJP candidate and state Education Minister Thounaojam Basanta Kumar Singh by a margin of over 1.09 lakh votes.
