TERI researcher who accused RK Pachauri of sexual harassment quits...

The woman researcher who accused climate scientist RK Pachauri of sexual harassment has quit his think tank TERI or The Energy Research Institute, accusing it of treating her "in the worst possible manner" and "failing to uphold her interests as an employee."

Alleging "mental torture" in her resignation letter, the 29-year-old complainant says: "Your organisation has treated me in the worst possible manner. TERI failed to uphold my interests as an employee, let alone protecting them."

In February this year, the woman went to the police and alleged that the 75-year-old environmentalist began harassing her soon after she joined TERI in September 2013. She submitted hundreds of text and WhatsApp messages that she says proved her allegation.

An internal inquiry committee of TERI found Dr Pachauri guilty of misconduct and he was removed as chief. In July, a court allowed him to visit all but the Delhi and Gurgaon offices of the organization.

 The woman says TERI protected Dr Pachauri and provided him with full immunity even after he was held guilty in the inquiry. Full story...
