Only five months after the director and founding member of a Delhi-based NGO was accused of sexual harassment and asked to step down, The Quint has learnt that he was reinstated by the NGO.

On 15 May, the organisation’s Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) recommended the accused’s administrative responsibilities be revoked till he sent an “unconditional apology” to the survivor. He was further advised to attend classes on anger management and gender sensitisation. Neither has been done yet.

When The Quint asked the NGO about the director’s reinstatement, they refused to comment, only adding that the matter is ‘subjudice’.

The NGO works in the areas of health and gender sensitisation, especially among the marginalised communities.
