Panaji: Tehelka editor-in-chief
Tarun Tejpal's judicial remand was Saturday extended by a further 10 days by a
magistrate here. Tejpal, who has spent more than
a month cumulatively in police and judicial custody, was presented before a
court of a judicial magistrate.
His defence argued that Tejpal
should be released on bail because police had not shown any interest in
questioning him during his tenure in judicial lock-up. The prosecution, however,
claimed that Tejpal should be in custody until the entire investigation is
completed.
Tejpal, arrested Nov 30, has
now spent Christmas as well as the New Year as prisoner number 624 at the Sada
sub jail in the port town of Vasco, around 35 km from here. He was arrested Nov 30 after a junior colleague accused him of sexual
assault during Thinkfest, a conference organised by Tejpal and his team at a
Goa resort.
