After 80 days in jail, will Tarun Tejpal get bail today?

March 04, 2014 12:02

Former Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal is at the Bombay High Court in Goa for his bail plea hearing in the sexual harassment case.

The Court had on February 18 postponed the hearing of Tejpal's bail plea, while seeking a copy of the chargesheet filed by the Crime Branch a day earlier.

After a fast-tracked investigation, the Goa Police Crime Branch charged Tejpal under sections 354, 354-A (sexual harassment), 341 and 342 (wrongful restrain), 376 (rape), 376(2)(f) and 376 (2)(k)(takes advantage of his official position and commits rape in his custody).

Tejpal has already spent 80 days in police and judicial custody since his arrest on November 30, after a nationwide police chase.
