The court has also summoned the complainant for January 4 and 5 for cross examination and evidence.
Delhi Police had filed case against RK Pachauri in 2015 on the basis of a complaint filed by a former 29-year-old research analyst of TERI on charges of sexual harassment at work place.
Reports said that after a year-long investigation into the case against Pachauri, the police found more than 6,000 texts and WhatsApp messages between him and the complainant between September 2013 and February 2015, besides 34 calls he had made to her in that time. In February 2016, another woman accused Pachauri of sexually harassing her.
