Just in: RK Pachauri sacked as TERI chief, just two days after he was reinstated.


Pachauri, accused of sexual harassment by an employee working under him in Teri, took back charge as director-general of the environmental NGO two days ago, even as the police investigation in the matter continue and cases are being tried in the court.

Pachauri took over active role as the head of the institution after he secured an order from a local court permitting him to physically attend all offices of Teri except two the head office and the one in Gurgaon. He had previously secured another order from the industrial tribunal staying the implementation of the Internal Complaints Committee, which had found him guilty of misconduct and misuse of his authority.
