Already battling a raging controversy, Tehelka took another hit on Thursday morning with the resignation of its managing editor Shoma Chaudhury. Speaking to the media, Ms Chaudhury said, "I was between the devil and the deep sea. Hope you understand." Ms Chaudhury's resignation comes after six journalists put in their papers, including the journalist who was allegedly sexually assaulted by the magazine's founder Tarun Tejpal, who has since stepped down as its Editor-in-Chief.
