Panaji/New Delhi:  In a day of fast-moving developments, Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal, who failed to get relief from Delhi High Court, was summoned by Goa Police to appear by 3 pm on Thursday.



Meanwhile, the Tehelka female journalist who had alleged sexual molestation, was secretly flown from Mumbai to Goa, where she recorded her statement before a magistrate.

The woman broke down while recording her statement and asked the judge "will I get justice?"

Police sources said the woman was secretly flown to Goa and taken to a trial court complex in Panaji, where her statement was recorded before a judicial magistrate first class (JMFC) in 'B' Court under section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

A statement recorded before a judicial magistrate makes it admissible in court as evidence and is a preferred legal route in case of sensitive crimes.

This also cleared the ground for police to issue summons to Tejpal, who has not made a public appearance since the scandal broke out last week.
