PANAJI: The woman journalist who went through an ordeal after Tehelka founder-editor Tarun Tejpal sexually assaulted her during ThinkFest in Goa is seen adjusting her clothes in the CCTV footage available on the corridor of the ground floor of the hotel, a senior police officer told TOI.

The crime branch sleuths of Goa police conducted a panchanama on the crime scene on Thursday along with the woman journalist, who corroborated the incident she went through on the night of November 7 and 8.

A police officer said the hotel records show the elevator was in motion for about two minutes. Normally, the elevator is timed to move from ground floor to second floor in 27 seconds.

The footage shows Tejpal wiping the sweat on his face and the woman journalist adjusting her dress in the corridor, but the video grab showing them coming out of the elevator is not so clear. The first incident occurred around 10.28pm on November 7.

The officer said, "The camera on the ground floor of the hotel lobby shows Tejpal and the woman journalist entering the lift with his arms around her shoulder at 10.27pm."

The footage shows Tejpal and the woman journalist walking on the corridor of the second floor with Hollywood actor Robert De Niro and an unknown man walking beside them at 10.23pm. This was the time they were going to drop De Niro to his room after he attended the evening party.

In the footage, the woman journalist is wearing a pink colour frock, Tejpal is wearing a light blue colour shirt and a black colour jacket and De Niro a dark blue colour shirt and a black colour hat.

The journalist narrated that they first went to drop De Niro to his room, since it was her duty to chaperone him during the ThinkFest. After dropping him, they came back through the lift and reached the ground floor. While they were walking out, Tejpal told her that they had to go back to his room and pulled her back into the lift. That is when the incident took place. She also told cops about the November 8th incident. The crime branch has collected specific details from the journalist.
