Tehelka Founder-Editor Tarun Tejpal will not appear before the Goa Police on Thursday for questioning in the sexual assault case against him. Tejpal said that he received the summon at around 11 am on Thursday and he had insufficient time to travel to Goa. Here's the full text of the letter he has written to the Goa Police seeking time till Saturday:
I have just been informed that last night, November 27th, around about 10:45 pm, you had left the summons with my wife, Geetan Batra Tejpal, asking me to appear at CID crime branch office at Dona Paula, Panaji, Goa on 28th November 2013 at 15:00 hours for investigation of CID Crime Branch PS DonaPaula, Goa, Cr. No. 27/2013 u/s 354-A, 376, 376(2) (k) of IPC.
Since I am not a resident of Goa, I require a little time to appear before you. I request you to kindly allow me to present myself for investigations on Saturday afternoon - that is, day after.
I hope that is okay. I assure you of my complete and full co-operation. I am also sending a hard copy of the same by courier.
