New Delhi: The woman research analyst who filed a sexual harassment complaint against TERI director general RK Pachauri on Tuesday told the Delhi High Court that he was "influencing" the witnesses in the case and sought the cancellation of his bail. Justice Sunita Gupta issued notice to Delhi Police and Pachauri and sought their responses by Wednesday.
Appearing for the research analyst, advocate Prashant Mendiratta told Justice Gupta that a "free and fair investigation" cannot be carried out if Pachauri is allowed to roam free. The woman alleged that there is "overwhelming evidence" that he misused the bail granted to him by the trial court on March 21.
"Even police has filed an application in the trial court along with some documents that Pachauri has violated various conditions imposed on him while he was given bail and that he also influenced witnesses. Police have even said that he was not cooperating with them," the advocate told the court.
Mendiratta contended that Pachauri is an "influential man" who has been the top boss of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) for the last 34 years and was in active touch with its officials and influencing the witnesses.
