NEW DELHI: The woman journalist, who accused founder-editor Tarun Tejpal of sexually assaulting her at a five-star hotel in Goa, has resigned from the weekly magazine, reports said on Monday.

Tejpal had, earlier in the day moved, Delhi high court to seek an anticipatory bail in the case. According to reports, the matter will be heard by the court on Tuesday.

Tejpal has moved Delhi HC as he is a resident of Delhi and the case has been filed in Goa and is seeking interim protection from any arrest till the time he can approach a court which has jurisdiction in Goa.

A Goa Police team may meet the Mumbai-based complainant to record her testimony, reports also said.

A three-member Goa Police team on Sunday had left Delhi without questioning Tejpal.

“We have not established contact with Tarun Tejpal yet,” deputy inspector general of police OP Mishra said at a press conference at the police headquarters in Panaji on Sunday.

The cops, however, examined Tehelka managing editor Shoma Chaudhury and three other employees who the woman journalist spoke to soon after allegedly being sexually assaulted by Tejpal.

Chaudhury, who was questioned for nine hours by the Goa Police team in the case, on Sunday said she “fully cooperated” with the police and hoped it will bring “clarity and justice” to the case.

According to reports, a Goa Police team may meet the Mumbai-based Tehelka journalist, who accused Tejpal of the alleged sexual assault, to record her testimony.
