Tehelka Managing Editor Shoma Chaudhury has resigned amid unabated criticism for the way she handled a young journalist's complaint that the magazine's founder Tarun Tejpal had molested her at an event in Goa earlier this month. In a letter sent at 6 am today to colleagues, Ms Chaudhury said she did not want her integrity questioned.
