Tehelka case: Court refuses Tejpal's plea

In his anticipatory bail plea, Tehelka's founder-editor Tarun Tejpal on Tuesday said he had exposed corruption in defence deals in 2001 due to which BJP's then president Bangaru Laxman as well as then defence minister had to resign and he and Tehelka have been targeted due to this. The court, however, refused to grant interim protection against arrest to him.
