Tehelka magazine editor Tarun Tejpal spent the night at a police lock-up here with two murder accused and an anti-social person, after he was arrested by the Crime Branch.

Tejpal, who was arrested in a sexual assault case, was referred for mandatory medical check-up at Goa Medical College near here at 12:30 midnight.

He was taken to Panaji police lock-up at around 2 am, after his medical check-up. Police sources said that Tejpal will share the lock-up with three more people including two accused of murder and one arrested under preventive action.

The Crime Branch sleuths had posted their guards outside the lock-up.

The 50-year-old-journalist refused to talk to the media after his medical check-up, when he emerged from Goa Medical College.

He was accompanied by his lawyer and his family joined him outside the Police Headquarters, before he was taken to the lock-up. He was supplied with a new pair of clothes by his family, as allowed by the Court.

Tejpal would be taken for remand early today morning.

A lady journalist, employed with Tehelka, had accused Tejpal of sexually assaulting her twice on November 7 and 8 in Goa. He has been booked under Section 354A (outraging the modesty of a woman) and 376 (2)(K) (custodial rape) of IPC.

17 die in Nigeria church stampede

Officials say at least 17 people died in a stampede at an all-night church vigil disrupted by politicking over a contentious November 18, 2013 gubernatorial election in Nigeria's southeast Anambra State.

Police Deputy Inspector-General Emmanuel Kachi Udeoji said the stampede occurred before dawn Saturday at an All Saints' Day open-air vigil attended by tens of thousands and organised by St. Dominic's Catholic Church in the town of Uke.

Anambra government spokesman Mike Udah said he counted the bodies of 17 victims at one local hospital.

Newspaper and TV reports say outgoing Governor Peter Obi attended the event earlier but left after he was booed as he tried to promote his gubernatorial candidate.

Some witnesses blamed both contesting political parties for the chaos.

Pakistan asks Iran for clarification on gas pipeline

The Pakistan government has asked for a clarification from Iran after its Oil Minister publicly stated two days ago that the peace pipeline project was likely to be annulled.

Federal Minister for Petroleum Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Friday said that there was an agreement signed between Pakistan and Iran for the gas pipeline and it cannot be called off unilaterally. The government had asked for a clarification and also a meeting to discuss the project and its future, he said. The meeting could be held later in November depending on when Iran responds.

He said that media reports cannot be the basis for judging if a project is called off or not and no official word had come from Iran on this. The pipeline project is facing flak for not negotiating a proper price for gas which is linked to international crude oil prices. There are provisions for heavy penalties if the Pakistan government does not fulfill its share of building the pipeline for which it had last month sought funds from Iran. Mr. Abbasi said these issues including the penalty clauses will have to be discussed when the meeting with Iran takes place.

On Thursday, the Pakistan government said it was committed to the project and was exploring all means of sourcing energy keeping in mind the acute shortage. This winter in Punjab for three months gas will only be supplied for cooking purposes and vehicles will not get compressed natural gas.

The government was confident of signing a construction contract for the pipeline but that will remain in limbo till the Iran government gets back on the issue. Mubin Saulat, managing director of Interstate Gas Systems Limited, a public sector company, said while most of the 1,100 km portion of the pipeline in Iran is complete, financing the project for Pakistan was a challenge. But there were other positive developments in the project for instance, the design was completed.

While the construction should have started by now, he said it was not was rocket science and if everything falls into place, the project could be completed as scheduled next year end. "It s challenging but not impossible," he added.

He said Pakistan is also looking at its huge gas reserves in Sui in Balochistan and in Sindh and if the investment environment is good then there may not be a need for imported gas. At present the production of gas is 4 billion cubic feet a day (BCFD) while the demand is 6 BCFD. This could double in 10 to 15 years time. Pakistan uses gas — the bulk of it for domestic use but 50 per cent of its energy comes from natural gas. According to the agreement with Iran signed in 2009, Pakistan should get 1 BCFD from the Iran Pakistan pipeline project. This along with the proposed Trans Afghanistan Pipeline or TAPI pipeline in which India is involved, should be able to meet its shortage of 2 BCFD. The company was also pinning its hopes on the TAPI project which if completed in the next four to five years could deliver 1.3 BCFD.
