Tejpal arrested after court rejects bail plea

Panaji: Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal was on Saturday night arrested by Goa police after a court here rejected his anticipatory bail plea holding that prima facie he was involved in acts which constitute custodial rape and outraging of the modesty of his woman colleague. The arrest of Tejpal came 10 days after it became public that he had allegedly sexually assaulted a woman journalist colleague during an event here early this month.
