Tejpal booked for rape, faces arrest
Tejpal Booked For Rape, Faces Arrest. Tehelka Editor Tarun Tejpal on Friday faced possible arrest after Goa police booked him on rape charge following an allegation by a journalist colleague that he sexually assaulted her during an event a fortnight ago.
Panaji/New Delhi (PTI): Tehelka Editor Tarun Tejpal on Friday faced possible arrest after Goa police booked him on rape charge following an allegation by a journalist colleague that he sexually assaulted her during an event a fortnight ago.
A special investigating team of the Crime Branch police will be in Delhi for questioning Tejpal and police are not ruling out arrest. "An FIR has been filed on charges of rape and outraging of modesty (against Tejpal).
This is one part of the process of investigation and law will take its course," DGP Kishan Kumar said in Panaji. The charges related to Sections 376 (rape), 376 (2) (rape by a person of a woman in his custody taking advantage of his official position) and 354 (outraging modesty) of IPC, he said.
Asked whether Tejpal would be arrested, the DGP said, "As I told you this is a matter of investigation. Let us leave it to investigating officers. It is a process under law which has logical consequences. I cannot say how the IO will do."
