Delhi Police questions former TERI chief Pachauri

Patna, July 12: Former TERI director R.K. Pachauri was on Sunday questioned by the Delhi Police in connection with the alleged sexual harassment case lodged against him.

A team of Delhi police officials visited Pachauri’s residence in the national capital to conduct the questioning.

On May 21, a local court had declined to allow Pachauri to enter his office while noting the slow progress in the probe against him and asked the police to complete it by July 17.

An FIR had been registered against him on February 13 on charges of sexual harassment under sections 354, 354(a), 354(d) (molestation) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. (ANI)
