Tarun Tejpal charged with rape, pleads not guilty
A Goa court has charged Tehelka founder Tarun Tejpal of sexually assaulting a junior colleague in 2013. The 54-year-old journalist, who has been charged with rape, wrongful restraint, and assault with intent to outrage woman's modesty, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. Alleging "political vendetta", Tejpal has appealed in the Bombay High Court that the case be dropped.
