In a change of strategy, Tehelka Editor Tarun Tejpal, today withdrew his bail plea in the Delhi High Court, saying he will approach appropriate court for appropriate remedy. A day before the High Court was to pass order on his bail plea, Tejpal counsel made the plea which was allowed by Justice Sunita Gupta who had yesterday reserved her order in the matter. Fearing arrest by Goa police after being accused of sexual assault against a woman colleague, Tejpal had approached the High Court seeking either anticipatory or transit bail.

Meanwhile, Tejpal missed 3 P.M. deadline today to appear before the Goa police following recording of the statement by the victim. Tejpal, wrote a letter to the Goa police
saying that he is ready to cooperate in the investigation and sought two days time to appear before it. He said that he will be reaching Goa on Saturday afternoon.
