In Delhi, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said, “Tejpal will be tried in a fast track court. We will follow the Supreme Court's guidelines and have a female judge in this case.”
“I will see to it that justice is given to the girl. No one need be worried that Tejpal, just because of his earlier background, will be treated in a wrong way or a different way,” he said while responding to a question at a function.
Tehelka's sting operation had led to the resignation of the then BJP president Bangaru Laxman who was caught on tape accepting money from undercover television reporters in connection with a purported defence deal.
In Panaji, a senior police officer said,”The investigation is heading in the right direction and we are interrogating Tejpal in detail...He is cooperating.
