# Zeenat Aman’s son calls Tarun Tejpal conviction ‘unjust’ 2026-08-08T14:02:18+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Zahaan Khan, son of actor Zeenat Aman, has called the conviction of former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal ‘unjust’ on Instagram Stories. Khan wrote that people are rewarded for ‘certainty over nuance, reaction over reflection, and emotion over evidence’. He is the partner of Tejpal’s daughter, Cara Tejpal. The Bombay High Court’s Goa bench on August 6 convicted Tejpal under sections of Indian law pertaining to rape and sexual assault for a 2013 incident at Tehelka’s annual event. He was sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment and fines of over Rs 5 lakh. The verdict overturned Tejpal’s 2021 acquittal by a Goa trial court. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Bombay High Court, sexual assault conviction, Tarun Tejpal, Tehelka, Zahaan Khan, Zeenat Aman Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/zeenat-amans-son-calls-tarun-tejpal-conviction-unjust/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
