                                                                                 Tejpal reaches Crime Branch
9.31 am:
 Ahead of hearing on his bail petition, Tehelka Editor Tarun Tejpal on Saturday visited the Crime Branch office on Saturday and said he was cooperating in the investigation.

Police sources said Tejpal, who has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman reporter in the magazine, was not quizzed and stayed for 10 minutes.

"We have joined the investigation started by the Crime Branch yesterday. We will join today also," Tejpal told reporters after coming out of the office.

A Sessions court is slated to hear his anticipatory bail plea at 10 am today. The judge had yesterday given him interim protection against arrest till this morning.

Tejpal landed at Dabolim airport on Friday evening and was escorted by a police team to the crime branch office in Dona Paula, Panaji, for interrogation.

Sources said the senior journalist was questioned for over 90 minutes. He will be brought to the North Goa sessions court on Saturday morning, where his bail plea will be heard again.

On Friday morning, the ex- editor of Tehelka managed to dodge a combined team of Goa and Delhi Police that visited his residence in Jangpura, his flat in Gurgaon and his sister's house in search of him. A police officer told MAIL TODAY that the Goa police had not been able to get in touch with Tejpal since Thursday evening. This made them send a team to Delhi to check his whereabouts. The Police also raided the late Ponty Chadha's farmhouse in Chhatarpur but had to return empty- handed.
