As the questioning went on, the victim issued a statement tonight suggesting she and her family were being subjected to pressure and intimidation at an "intensely traumatic" time to "protect" Tejpal.
Police is likely to confiscate Shoma's laptop and couple of CPUs in the Tehelka's office, sources said, adding after the completion of the questioning, Shoma's statement was being drafted.
Later, the team, which also includes Sunita Sawant who is the Investigating Officer in the case, also recorded the statements of Chaudhary and the other Tehelka employees questioned, they said.
The Tehelka magazine in a Twitter post said Chaudhury has shared all documents requested by Goa Police and that she will continue to assist with the investigations.
Police took into custody the e-mail trail between Chaudhary, the victim and Tejpal.
Other than that Chaudhary's mobile phone, the tablet phone and laptop were also screened by the police, according to the sources.
The three other employees of Tehelka, to whom the victim had first narrated the incident and also sent the copies of the e-mailed complaint to Chaudhary, will be questioned tomorrow after which Tejpal could be questioned.
The Goa police team also requested the victim to join the probe and formally file a complaint.
