Tarun Tejpal's daughter claims rape case was a move to suppress his investigative work
Cara Tejpal, the 36-year-old daughter of former Tehelka editor-in-chief and rape convict Tarun Tejpal, stated that labeling him a rapist was a tactic to shut him down, as he was a significant nuisance to the BJP administration. She connected the case to the investigative reporting done by Tehelka. She further asserted that after reviewing the evidence for over 13 years, she is certain of her father's innocence.
