New Delhi: Tarun Tejpal, founder and editor-in-chief of Tehelka magazine who has been accused by a young journalist from the same organization, of sexual assault and is charged for rape and molestation, on Monday November 25 moved the Delhi High Court seeking interim anticipatory bail.

The Goa Police have registered an FIR against Tejpal for allegedly molesting a woman colleague in a Panaji hotel, when the Tehelka group was holding its annual ThinkFest.

Tejpal’s lawyers Geeta Luthra and Pramod Dubey mentioned the case before Justice GS Sistani, which is probably to be heard on Tuesday November 26.

On the other hand a Special correspondent Revati Laul-who had put in her papers on November 20-spoke in strong defense of her friend and colleague who has alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Tejpal.

Sources have revealed that Consulting editor Jay Mazoomdaar and Features editor Shougat Dasgupta have also put in their papers in the last two days.

There are a total of 3 resignations till now and more are likely to follow as several employees, as friends of the complainant have taken a stand for her aligned with the extraneous way the organization has handled a sexual harassment case.
