New Delhi: The Tehelka journalist, who accused its founder Tarun Tejpal of sexually assaulting her at a hotel in Goa earlier this month has expressed fear of attempts at intimidating her.

On the night of 22nd of November 2013, a member of Mr Tejpal's immediate family came to my mother's house in New Delhi, asking my mother to protect Mr. Tejpal and demanded to know 1) who I was seeking legal help from and 2) what I "wanted" as the result of my complaint of sexual molestation by Mr. Tejpal, that was made to the Tehelka management earlier this week.
I call upon all persons connected to Mr. Tejpal and his associates to refrain from approaching me or my family members.
