A woman journalist employed with Tehelka had accused Tejpal of sexually assaulting her twice.
Panaji: A Goa court on Wednesday sent Tehelka founder-editor Tarun Tejpal to judicial custody for 12 days after his police custody expired on Wednesday. He has been charged under several Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections including 341 (wrongful restraint), 342 (wrongful confinement), 376 (2) (f) and 376 C.
A former Tehelka woman journalist had accused Tejpal of sexually assaulting her twice on November 7 and 8 in a lift in a five star hotel in Goa. He has already been booked under Sections 354A (outraging the modesty of a woman) and 376 (2)(K) (custodial rape) of IPC.
While the police have started interrogating Tejpal, the big task ahead of them is to gather enough evidence to prove their case in a court of law.
