R K Pachauri admitted to hospital
Pachauri had been summoned by the police for questioning on Wednesday in connection with the charges levelled against him.
He has been accused of sexual harassment by a 29-year-old researcher of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) of which Pachauri is the director.
The 74-year-old environmentalist, who denied the accusation, stepped down on Tuesday as chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Pachauri had held the post of the chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change since 2002, and the organisation was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
on Monday, a trial court granted him interim protection from arrest till February 26.
Pachauri had pulled out of the high level meeting in Nairobi three days ago after police began investigating the allegation of sexual harassment against him.
In an FIR, the Teri researcher accused Pachauri of harassing her by way of sending emails and SMS and WhatsApp messages.
