Tejpal's claim of consensual act could not be true: Goa CM

A state police team has taken the statement of Tehelka Managing Editor Shoma Chaudhary and other witnesses whom the victim had spoken to.

Parrikar said that the police are doing their duty by having filed the FIR against Tejpal, whose conduct is “inhuman”.

“What he has done is inhuman,” the chief minister said.

Parrikar said that the incident is an indication of downgrading of educational values in the country.  

“I fear people will lose their interest in education and wonder as to what is the value of education,” he said.  

Going by this episode “one can imagine what must be going in the minds of parents while sending their daughters to outstation destinations for sports or any event accompanied by male teachers,” he added.
