VP withdraws Tehelka founder's name from Prasar Bharati

Vice President Hamid Ansari, who headed the selection of Tehelka founder Tarun Tejpal as a member of the Prasar Bharati board on Tuesday, has recommended the withdrawal of his name. Ansari immediately asked the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to cancel it, as soon as Tejpal's alleged sexual assault on a colleague came to light on Wednesday night, sources said.
