Pachauri barred from going out of India
Print Edition
A court yesterday barred the former chairman of the UN climate panel from leaving India, where he faces charges of sexually harassing a woman at his New Delhi energy institute.
The court also said RK Pachauri could not be arrested until after March 27, while he undergoes hospital treatment for hypertension. But it prohibited him from entering or contacting anyone at the research and lobbying organization he heads, called The Energy Resources Institute.
Pachauri had chaired the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change from 2002 until Tuesday, when he resigned after a 29-year-old woman accused him of stalking and sexually harassing her while they worked together at TERI.
A police report said the woman gave police dozens of text messages and emails that she alleged had been sent by Pachauri. A Delhi court on Monday ordered Pachauri to cooperate.
Pachauri, 74, has denied the allegations and pledged to cooperate with the investigation. He has also taken a leave of absence from TERI until the case is resolved.
On Wednesday, he entered a hospital for cardiac treatment after developing hypertension and stress brought on by the case, his lawyer Shankh Sengupta said. In 2010, Pachauri had undergone a stent procedure, and was under constant monitoring.
The accusations against Pachauri have caused outrage in India, where women face a stigma against discussing issues such as sexual harassment in the workplace.
