Tehelka case: Tarun Tejpal taken for second round of medical tests

PANAJI: Tehelka magazine editor Tarun Tejpal, arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman colleague, was taken for a second round of medical tests.

Tejpal's medical examination was earlier conducted on December 2 at Goa Medical College and Hospital. Various tests, including potency examination, were conducted on him.

"He has been taken again for further medical examination this morning," a senior police officer said.

Tejpal would be subjected to various medical tests that are required as part of investigation, he added.

The 50-year-old Tehelka founder was arrested last Saturday after his anticipatory bail plea was rejected.

He was remanded in six days police custody on Sunday.
