local court on Saturday asked Goa Government to hand over unedited portion of
CCTV footage of the area near a lift in a hotel to senior journalist Tarun
Tejpal, accused of sexually assaulting a junior woman colleague last year.
Tejpal
had requested the fast track court for the footage which is part of the
chargesheet filed by crime branch earlier.The senior journalist sought the
footage of the area in the starred hotel for a time period from November 7,
2013 when the crime was alleged to have happened till November 29, when he was
arrested.
His
lawyers had maintained that the proof of Tejpal’s “innocence” lies in the
footage which was procured by the investigating agency.

founder-editor of Tehelka magazine is lodged in a jail here in a case of alleged
sexual assault of his junior woman colleague at the hotel during an event.In
its chargesheet filed on February 17, the crime branch accused Tejpal of rape,
sexual harassment and outraging modesty of woman.
