The Story in Brief
Tarun Tejpal told reporters that Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam are in jail in connection with the 2020 Delhi riots case. Citing their cases, Tejpal said he was also one of them, NDTV reports. The report does not provide further details about the circumstances of Tejpal’s remark or explain the comparison he was making. It also does not include responses from Khalid, Imam, investigators or any court. The account therefore records Tejpal’s statement, rather than establishing any legal finding about his own position or case.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy reading would treat Tejpal’s comparison as proof that all three cases are alike. The opposite claim, that the remark itself settles questions of guilt or due process, is just as weak. The available report gives no context for Tejpal’s statement and no legal details about his situation. Readers should first ask what case he was referring to and what court record supports the comparison.
