Conviction Meant To Silence Him: Tarun Tejpal's Daughter Says He Is Innocent
Claiming that she was convinced of his innocence because she has been sifting through the evidence for 13 years, she requested others to do the same without paying attention to headlines.
Tarun Tejpal's daughter, Cara Tejpal, has expressed her conviction that her father is innocent of a rape allegation. According to Cara Tejpal, she has spent 13 years examining the evidence and is convinced of his innocence.
Cara Tejpal also believes that her father's conviction is linked to his work as an investigative journalist, specifically with the magazine Tehelka. She thinks that her father's reporting on corruption and alleged wrongdoing by those in power made him a target, and that the rape allegation was used to silence him.
The Bombay High Court recently convicted Tarun Tejpal of raping a junior colleague in a hotel elevator in 2013. Cara Tejpal has stated that she does not care if she is labelled a "rape apologist" or the "child of a rapist" and has requested others to examine the evidence without being swayed by headlines, as per NDTV.
