Supreme Court grants bail to Tarun Tejpal in sexual assault case
- 5 years ago
The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to Tehelka founder and editor Tarun Tejpal in a sexual assault case.
Earlier, on Friday, the Supreme Court had extended the interim bail till July 1.
Tejpal was arrested in Goa after a woman colleague accused him of sexually assaulting her in a hotel there in November last year.
Tejpal's lawyer Salman Khurshid had sought extension of the interim bail.
This was opposed by counsel for Goa government who said that there was no application for the extension. It said the bail that was sought to perform the rituals following Tejpal's mother's death was being sought to be extended on one pretext or the other.
Goa government counsel said the victim has filed an FIR for the hacking of her email account.
Counsel told the court that the victim's friend was getting mails pressurizing him to resolve the issue.
On May 19, the apex court granted Tejpal three weeks' interim bail so that he could carry out the last rites and other rituals of his mother.
This was later extended till June 27 as more rituals were to be completed.
Tejpal has been charged with rape, sexual harassment and outraging the modesty of a woman.
