The former head of the UN climate change panel, RK Pachauri, has been forced to go on indefinite leave by the environmental think tank TERI following a new accusation of sexual harassment.
He was removed as the head of The Energy and Resources Institute in Delhi (TERI) in July when a female employee accused him of harassment.
However, he was recently awarded a newly-created senior post at TERI.
The latest accusation by a second employee has caused widespread outrage.
Dr Pachauri has denied all accusations against him.
"Dr RK Pachauri, who had been at the head of the institute since 1982 will be on leave from TERI, TERI Governing Council, and TERI University till this is reviewed by the Governing Council given the subjudice nature of the matter," the think tank said in a statement on Friday evening. Full story...
