Tehelka

Tehelka is an Indian investigative news magazine co-founded in 2000 by Tarun Tejpal. The organization gained prominence for its impactful scoops, often utilizing sting operations. However, Tehelka is currently newsworthy due to the recent conviction of its founder, Tarun Tejpal, for the rape of a junior colleague. Tejpal, who was the former editor, was accused of the assault in 2013 during an event in Goa. This conviction overturns a previous acquittal and has garnered significant national attention. Tejpal had previously alleged a political vendetta against him. The case and Tejpal's conviction cast a shadow over the magazine's legacy and raise questions about the organization's future and its association with its prominent founder.
