Tejpal's lawyer Geeta Luthra says Tejpal is ready to stay in Goa till the time it was required by the investigating agency.

She said he will also not visit Mumbai, where the victim is currently residing.

"There should not be any fear that he (Tejpal) will tamper with witnesses or evidence," the defence lawyer said.

Luthra also ruled out the possibility of Tejpal fleeing the country saying he has not fled before the FIR or after that.

"My client cannot tamper with the aggrieved girl as she will stand by her statement," the lawyer said.
