New Delhi: In a massive face-off which is brewing between RK Pachauri and prominent women activist Vrinda Grover, many have expressed outrage at the former TERI chief RK Pachauri.

Pachauri has filed a civil suit for injunction and has demanded damages of Rs. 1 crore from lawyer Vrinda Grover for pursuing the case of sexual harassment against him.

Vrinda Grover expressed her outrage at Pachauri's action of filing a civil suit and said, "Mr. Pachauri has been a serial harasser so for him filing such a defamation case is kind of a hideaway. Such an act is only reflecting of his inner consciousness and I think he should contemplate and mend his ways."

There was a strong reaction from women activists following the defamation suit filed by RK Pachauri.
