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.

Police on Thursday registered a case against former Delhi BJP MLA Vijay Jolly for his acts of vandalism outside Tehelka former managing editor Shoma Chaudhury's residence. Jolly, along with other BJP workers, protested before Shoma's house demanding her immediate arrest. Following this, Shoma was provided with a security cover. BJP has condemned Jolly's act and distanced itself from the protest.
