Tarun Tejpal, the 50-year-old founder and editor-in-chief of India's leading investigative magazine Tehelka, is asked to produce his travel papers by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officers upon his arrival at the airport on his way to Goa, in New Delhi November 29, 2013. The man at the centre of a sexual assault scandal that has whipped India's media into a frenzy is no average Joe. Tejpal is one of India's most powerful journalists, and accusations that he sexually assaulted a colleague have uncovered what lawyers say is an often buried truth - such violence is common in the highest echelons of society. An investigation into Tejpal, who denies the accusations, has dominated headlines for eight days as news outlets follow every twist and turn. It comes days after similar accusations were made by an intern against a retired Supreme Court judge. REUTERS/Anindito Mukherjee (INDIA - Tags: CRIME LAW MEDIA POLITICS)
The complaint also stressed upon the issue of noise pollution and highlighted the fact that Tejpal does not have required permission to own a hotel in the concerned area.
Meanwhile, NGO’s head Tara Kerkar told ANI, “Tarun Tejpal’s boutique hotel is illegal and does not have permission from village panchayat and tourism Department.”
“No action taken even after giving many complaints to various department on the persistence disturbance and noise pollution in a residential area from an illegally run hotel at house no. 497 of Moira village North Goa, owned by Tarun Tejpal,” the letter added.
