New Delhi: Delhi Police has finalised its chargesheet in the TERI sexual harassment case involving RK Pachauri and is likely to be filed next week. The chargesheet said that former TERI chief RK Pachauri will be charged with sexual harassment, said sources on Sunday.
The chargesheet will give a detail account of how Pachauri harrased the complainant. The chargesheet also questions the earlier stand taken by TERI's governing council that promoted Pachauri to the post of executive vice-chairman.
On Saturday, Pachauri faced more heat as the alumni of TERI university attacked the governing council's decision to send him on "paid leave" against their demand for his removal or suspension in the wake of serious sexual harassment allegations against him.
A statement issued on behalf of about 350 alumni of the TERI University said they have decided to continue their protest and to seek government's intervention, if needed.
They expressed unhappiness over sending Pachauri, who is fighting a legal case of sexual harassment filed against him by a former employee, on an indefinite leave.
On Friday, the governing council of TERI met and nudged Pachauri to go on leave from the green body as well as its governing council till its decision is reviewed given the subjudice nature of the matter.
This decision came amidst mounting outrage over Pachauri's elevation as executive Vice Chairman of TERI despite his facing a swirl of sexual harassment allegations.
