The sources said later a court will hear whether he can be provided with a fan while in police custody.

A woman journalist, who was employed with Tehelka, had accused Tejpal of sexually assaulting her twice on 7 and 8 November in a lift in a five-star hotel in Goa.

He has been booked under Sections 354A (outraging the modesty of a woman) and 376 (2)(K) (custodial rape) of IPC.
