Speaking to the media, Tarun Tejpal's lawyer Geeta Luthra said that no one is saying that he will not appear before police. He will be present before the police when they need him. She added that Mr Tejpal has been given interim relief by the court on a personal bond. "He will co-operate, Mr Tejpal has shown his respect for the law."

Earlier in the day, a Goa police team on Friday raided Tehelka Editor Tarun Tejpal's house in Jungpura in a bid to arrest him but returned empty-handed after finding that he was not there.
The Police is also raiding various places in Delhi including his sister's residence. The Police will also raid late Ponty Chadha's farmhouse today. Armed with a non-bailable warrant, the team reached the residence of Tejpal, who has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman colleague, in Jungpura area of South Delhi a little after 6am and spent over 90 minutes.
One of the officials later said they did not find Tejpal in the house. Crime Branch personnel from Delhi police also accompanied the Goa Police team.
Tejpal's wife Geetan Batra refused to divulge to the police any detail of his whereabouts, police said.
Police left his house and may look at other possible locations where he could be found. The police action came after they rejected Tejpal's request for time till Saturday to to appear before them for the investigation into his involvement in the case of sexual assault that had allegedly taken place at a hotel in Goa earlier this month.
After the rejection of his request, Tejpal's lawyer said he would appear before the police today in Panaji and extend "complete and full cooperation" in the investigation.
Tejpal who is facing imminent arrest had on Thursday written to the Goa Police stating that he will appear before it Friday and extend "complete and full cooperation" in its probe into the case in which he has been accused of sexually assaulting his woman colleague. Advocate Sandeep Kapur said that a letter written by Tarun Tejpal has been sent through fax to the Goa police that he will appear before the investigating officer and join the probe Friday.
Tejpal's decision to join investigation came after Goa police declined his plea to extend the 3pm local time, deadline of Thursday till Saturday and did not rule out his arrest after he failed to appear before it.
A copy of the letter, addressed to Sunita Sawant, police inspector CID/CB PS Dona Paula, Goa, was made available to the media in which Tejpal described the sequence of receiving the summons issued to him by police and said he "requires a little time" to appear before it as he is not a resident of Goa.
"I have just been informed that last night, November 27, 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 November 28, 2013 at 15.00 hours for investigation of CID crime branch PS Dona Paula, 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," he said in his letter.
Tejpal, however, assured the investigating officer that he will give his full cooperation in the ongoing investigation.
"I hope that is okay, I assure you of my complete and full cooperation. I am also sending a hard copy of the same by courier," he said.
He also mentioned in his letter that the Goa Police has declined to grant him time till Saturday to appear before it.
"We have just been given to understand that our plea for extension till Saturday has been disallowed, as per the news reported on the TV channels. Accordingly, please note that I shall be reporting for investigation to you tomorrow itself and as always assure you of my full cooperation," Tejpal said.
Earlier in the day, Tejpal also preferred to withdraw the petition seeking anticipatory and transit bail from the Delhi High Court which was to pronounce its order Friday.
Tejpal has been charged by the Goa Police with the offence of sexual assault of his junior woman colleague in a five star hotel lift earlier this month.

| Shamina Shafiq: I thing He (Tejpal) should cooperate with the proceeding. By not doing this he is getting into more trouble . It is too early to come into any solution . As far Shoma Chaudhury is concern, there are certain issues that is to be answered YP Singh: Police would have not given him that much time, where there is a lot of evidence to be required. Police have faulted in their duty . If there were no warrant taken in the Nirbhaya’s incident than why did they give warrant to Tejpal RPN Singh: Law and order is a state matter. Investigation and enquiry are under the hand of Goa police . MHA has asked for all the information from Goa Police, law &order is a state subject, no need to politicize the issue Annie Raja: The delay that he is doing proves that he has committed a crime. He should make himself make available and should cooperate . Police should act in proper way and there should be no delay in anything. They should follow the rules and regulation of the NCW |
