The complainant in the R.K. Pachauri sexual harassment case resigned from TERI today and alleged that she was being treated in the 'worst possible manner'.
On February 13, an FIR was registered against Pachauri on charges of sexual harassment under IPC Sections 354, 354(a), 354(d) (molestation) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
