New Delhi: The request for bail by Tehelka founder Tarun Tejpal, accused of raping a colleague, will be decided on Friday, the Delhi High Court said yesterday. It refused to stop the Goa Police from arresting him till then.
The 50-year-old editor has been ordered to meet the Goa Police for interrogation at 3 pm today.
He will be confronted with the testimony of the younger colleague who he allegedly raped at a five-star hotel in Goa earlier this month. She shared her version of events in a court in Goa yesterday.
The police said that it has an "open-and-shut" case against Mr Tejpal because has admitted to his offence in emails sent last week, one of them to the younger colleague he is accused of violating.
The Goa Police also alleged in court that a member of Mr Tejpal's family visited the journalist's mother in Delhi and suggested, "We can sit across the table and work this out."
The reporter did not press charges against Mr Tejpal. She complained not to the police but to Tehelka Managing Editor Shoma Chaudhary in an email which was leaked. The Goa Police used that email to charge Mr Tejpal with rape last week.
