In 2018, Dr Tiago Ferreira Lopes who is a Portuguese national was alleged of seeking sexual favors from the male students, following which a case was prepared against him. It was then reported that Dr Lopes was quietly asked by the administration of IBA to leave the country after it was verified  that he was continuously abusing his position to demand sexual favors from male students. In October 2020, a female faculty member of IBA reported a non-teaching employee of the campus of harassment which was then investigated by the IBA's Anti-Harassment Committee. The accused employee was barred from entering IBA premises until the completion of the inquiry. On 25 August 2021, a student named Mohammad Gibrail witnessed an incident where a female employee of the finance department was allegedly harassed by a male employee Tanveer Ahmed in a supervisory position. He shared the whole incident in detail in  a Facebook post. On September 17, a large number of IBA students protested with the chants of “We Want Justice!”, “IBA Stands Against Harassment”, “Stop Sheltering Harassment.” On 29 September 2021, the Institute expelled Mohammad Gibrail for exposing alleged harassment on campus with the reason stating that IBA appreciates the student for pointing out issues which are of concern to them and our community but the institute took the decision to expel the complainant for not using the right channel to report the sexual harassment.
