The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Khan’s post is a private family matter, but raising it in public invites scrutiny. The High Court examined evidence over 13 years before overturning an acquittal. Those who claim ‘there is more to the story’ owe the public a specific fact, not a vague appeal to nuance. Which piece of evidence do they say the court got wrong?
