Özet · AI üretimi

Hindistan'da bir mahkeme, araştırmacı dergi Tehelka'nın eski editörü Tarun Tejpal'ı, Kasım 2013'te Goa'da bir otelin asansöründe genç bir kadın gazeteciye tecavüz etmekten suçlu bularak 10 yıl hapse mahkûm etti. Ülke çapında yankı uyandıran dava, medya sektöründe güç dengeleri ve iş yerinde cinsel şiddet konularında önemli bir turnusol oldu. Tejpal'ın kurucu ortağı olduğu Tehelka, Hindistan'da etkili bir haber kuruluşuydu; mahkumiyeti, yüksek profilli isimlerin yargı önünde hesap verebilirliği açısından simgesel bir değer taşıyor. Karar, özellikle #MeToo hareketinin Hindistan'daki yansımaları bağlamında, kadın hakları savunucuları tarafından yakından takip edildi.

    Indian court jails Tehelka editor for 10 years in rape case

    MUMBAI: An Indian court sentenced former news magazine editor Tarun Tejpal to 10 years in prison on Thursday after convicting him of raping a junior colleague, in a case that drew nationwide attention. Tejpal, co-founder of investigative magazine Tehelka, was accused of raping the journalist in the lift of a five-star hotel in the western coastal state of Goa during an event in November 2013. In 2021, a trial court in Goa acquitted Tejpal of the charges of rape, sexual harassment and wrongful restraint. The acquittal was challenged by the Goa government before the Bombay High Court, which set aside the trial court’s verdict and sentenced him to 10 years in jail on Thursday. “He has been convicted to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. He has been given two weeks’ time to surrender,” Goa Police investigator Sunita Sawant, who led the probe against Tejpal, told reporters. The court also ordered him to pay a fine of $5,250, Sawant added. Tejpal, 63, said he would challenge the conviction in the Supreme Court. “For the past 13 years, they have been pursuing me as a part of a political vendetta,” he told reporters.

    Minchinabad police ‘ignore’ court orders in minor’s rape case

    BAHAWALNAGAR: The Minchinabad Police have been allegedly ignoring court orders in a minor’s rape case even after a court ordered to register FIRs against four SHOs concerned and prohibiting the case investigating officer (IO) from any public role on account of the misconduct. As per details, a cleric was arrested on July 13 for sexually assaulting his 14-year-old student over a two-year period and impregnated her. During a court hearing on July 14, IO Shehnaz Akhtar in her report stated that the victim studied and worked as a domestic help inside the seminary. The court ordered a 13-day remand for the accused with a follow-up on July 17. On July 16, the victim’s father filed an application to the court alleging that the accused’s influential family had pressured the victim’s mother, the complainant in the case, into a settlement involving Rs1.05 million for her and case witnesses with police complicity. Also ignores court’s letter directing DPO to file FIRs against all SHOs of the circle The application sought an independent adviser for the minor’s rights and raised safety concerns. It also requested the victim’s custody or send her to the Child Protection Bureau, while the court ordered the girl to be moved to the child bureau. On July 17, the court issued a show-cause notice to the IO and proceedings were postponed as she did not appear before the court. Even on July 21, no police official appeared, leading to a new hearing scheduled for July 27, where the court demanded the victim’s presence and relevant records. However, the IO defied this order as well and took the victim to a different district court in Pakpattan to record her statement. In response, Magistrate Muhammad Qasim Rasool termed the police’s actions insulting and delinquent in two letters to the DPO Office on July 27, copies of which are available with Dawn. He ordered an inquiry against the IO and prohibited her from public interest assignments. The court directed the DPO to file FIRs against all SHOs of the circle. However, despite the passage of 11 days, there has been no apparent action taken on the court orders. In this regard, Advocate Khalid Shahid, representing the victim’s father, criticised the deputy commissioner’s office for neglecting the case. He highlighted that as per the Anti-Rape Act, anti-rape crisis cells (ARCC) were to protect children’s rights, overseen by local DCs or commissioners alongside medical and police staff. Advocate Khalid pointed out that despite a court-marked application, no actions were taken by the cell. When contacted, Bahawalnagar DC Syed Muhammad Abbas Shah and DPO Muhammad Imran did not respond to requests for comments. However, DPO’s spokesperson Zahid Rasool, while refuting bribery allegations, claimed that the court had rescinded its directions of registering FIRs against the SHOs. He stated that the IO was removed and an inquiry was initiated against her. He claimed that a medical examination was not undertaken based on the written request of the victim’s mother. Meanwhile, the Minchinabad DSP said that despite the confession, the accused had to be released since the victim spoke in the court in his defence. In response to the police’s account, Advocate Khalid asserted that the police were not legally obligated to obtain consent for a medical check-up in cases involving minors. Meanwhile, court sources denied the police claims and said that the court had not withdrawn any of its directions. Published in Dawn, August 9th, 2026
