Third woman alleges sexual assault by R K Pachauri
New Delhi, Mar 31 (IBNS): A third woman, who is a foreign national, has now accused TERI executive vice-chairman R K Pachauri of sexually assaulting her, media reports said.
The victim, who is an European woman, has leveled serious allegations against Pachauri and TERI.
The woman has reportedly alleged that it seemed "usual" for RK Pachauri to sexually harass women in the office.
She said that there was nothing that could be done to complain against him or challenge his decisions at work.
For that reason, she claimed to have never contested her abrupt termination of contract.
Pachauri has also been accused of sexual harassment by a 29-year-old researcher of TERI.
