In February last year, a 29-year-old research assistant working at non-profit think tank TERI or The Energy Research Institute accused Dr Pachauri of sexual harassment. Subsequently the TERI Board announced that Dr Ajay Mathur would be the new Director General replacing Dr Pachauri.
But in a surprise announcement, the TERI board also appointed Dr Pachauri as Executive Vice Chairman leading to protests from women’s rights groups and TERI university students.
Trouble mounted for the 75-year-old world renowned scientist, who was already embroiled a legal battle over allegations of sexual harassment, when another woman, a former employee of TERI, came out in public and made similar allegations against him.
