Court refuses to grant bail to Tarun Tejpal

  • 5 years ago
Tehelka founder editor Tarun Tejpal, facing charges of rape of a junior journalist colleague, today failed to get any immediate relief on his bail petition from court which deferred hearing to March four.

Judge Mridula Bhatkar of the Goa bench of Bombay High Court posted the matter to March 4 and asked the prosecution to table the copy of the charge sheet filed against Tejpal by crime branch before chief judicial magistrate yesterday.

The court also allowed Tejpal to move bail petition before the sessions court as the charge sheet has already been filed.

Tejpal, 50, has been charged with rape, sexual harassment and outraging modesty of the woman journalist in Goa in November last year. He is currently lodged at Sada sub jail near Vasco town, about 40 kms from here.
