Panaji: Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has lashed out at Tehelka Editor Tarun Tejpal over the charge of a girl's sexual abuse, alleging that the claim that the act was consensual could not be true.
“Someone told me that this man (Tarun Tejpal) is saying that it is consensual. I wonder what he must have done within four minutes and that too in a lift,” Parrikar reacted last evening addressing a function in south Goa.
He said that Tejpal by recusing himself for six months has admitted to the act.
“By taking six month recuse from his position, this man has agreed to his felony. It is unfortunate that this man wants to take sanyas and come back in six months,” the chief minister said.
The Goa police have already filed first information report against Tejpal for raping and outraging modesty of the girl.
