Tarun Tejpal’s bail plea today

A Goa court is expected to decide on Wednesday on former Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal’s petition seeking a bail in connection with a sexual harassment case lodged against him by his colleague.

The allegations of sexual harassment led to Tejpal’s arrest on November 30, last year.

Tejpal has already spent a month and half behind bars, both in police as well as judicial custody.

Tejpal has been accused of allegedly raping a junior colleague in a Goa resort, during ThinkFest, a high profile conference organised by Tejpal and his team at a Goa resort.

Tejpal is currently lodged at the Sada sub jail in the port town of Vasco, 35 km from here, as prisoner number 624.
