Tarun Tejpal's legal troubles have rung a death knell for Tehelka. The investigative news magazine is on the verge of shutting down. Sources in the Tehelka management have told Headlines Today that efforts to raise finances for 2014 have come a cropper and the announcement of the shutdown could come within days.

Before the infamous Thinkfest in early November, Tarun Tejpal was reportedly in the final stages of closing a major financial deal with a leading Indian industrialist turned politician. But with the Tehelka brand taking a battering and its flamboyant Editor-In-Chief in jail on serious charges of rape, the industrialist has now turned wary of the political consequences of backing Tehelka. Headlines Today spoke to the industrialist who was planning to fund Tehelka and he confirmed that he was in talks with Tejpal but said he was no longer planning to fund the magazine....

Tarun Tejpal is presently lodged as prisoner number 624 in the basement of a prison cell at the Sada sub-jail in Vasco, 35 kilometers from Panjim. Those who have met the journalist say he is in good spirits and has been reading voraciously. He has also been talking about the need to initiate prison reform and improve the condition of under-trials who have been languishing in jail for years.
