Apology Email Not Mine, Says Tejpal

Tarun Tejpal is now claiming that the apology email sent by him to the victim was actually written by Shoma Chaudhry and not himself:

With Tejpal insisting he is being framed by "political forces", Chaudhry is now insisting that the victim's version of events is not necessarily the true version of what happened. Looks like they're circling the wagons and preparing to fight their way out of this.

Here's an interesting account on the rise and sudden fall of Tarun Tejpal:

And of course paidmedia has no followup questions on such statements. Did he give Shoma his email password and ask her to deal with the issue or did he just copy paste something drafted by her and email it out? Or did she manage to hack his email and send the apology?

My impression is that he's saying she drafted it and he sent it out. They're all just maneuvering around now, trying to cast the evidence in the least damaging light.
