New Delhi:
The woman jourmalist who was allegedly raped by Tehelka founder Tarun Tejpal recorded her statement for a magistrate in Goa today. This version of events will be used in court to substantiate the Goo Police's case against Mr Tejpal, who has said he is being framed.
His request for pre-trial or anticipatory bail is being heard by the Delhi High Court.
The reporter has said that Mr Tejpal sexually assaulted her twice at an annual Tehelka conference at a five-star hotel in Goa earlier this month. In his request for bail, Mre Tejpal, who is 50, has said she is misrepresenting "light hearted bantering." However, in an email to the reporter sent just days ago, he offered a starkly different version of events, acknowledging that he attempted "a sexual liaison with you on two occasions....despite your clear reluctance."
The journalist quit Tehelka on Monday and has accused Mr Tejpal's family of trying to intimidate her.
The Goa Police has ordered Mr Tejpal to make himself available for interrogation as soon as possible.
Airports have been alerted to stop Mr Tejpal from leaving the country.
The journalist who he allegedly violated did not press charges. She detailed her complaint to managing Editor Shoma Chaudhary in an email that was leaked and became the inception point for the Goa Police's investigation.
Mr Tejpal has claimed that the ruling BJP in Goa is using the case to get even with him for Tehelka's earlier exposes on some of its top leaders.
