“Tehelka.com” did its first sting operation on India-South Africa cricket match-fixing in 2000.
Goa: Founder-editor of Tehelka magazine, Tarun Tejpal has been acquitted of rape charges on Friday by a court in Goa.
He was accused of sexually assaulting a colleague in 2013 on the sidelines of a conference at a five-star resort in Goa.
Tarun Tejpal began his career in 1980 with The Indian Express and later moved to New Delhi to join a now defunct magazine called “India 2000”. In 1984, he joined India Today magazine, then The Financial Express in 1994, and later became the founding editor of India’s second-largest newsmagazine publication, Outlook. Meanwhile, he founded a publishing company, “India Ink”, which published Arundhati Roy’s Booker Prize-winning novel The God of Small Things in 1998.
“Tehelka.com” did its first sting operation on India-South Africa cricket match-fixing in 2000.
In February 2000, Tarun Tejpal set up India’s first journalistic website, Tehelka. Tejpal in several media interviews declared the primary impulse of Tehelka would be editorial and not commercial, and it would aim to bring back the aggressive public-interest journalism of the 1980s which had been misplaced in the fashion, food, and cinema excitements of the 1990s.
