Tarun Tejpal convicted: Landmark win for workplace rights against sexual harassment | LME Shorts
Tarun Tejpal has been convicted of rape and sexual assault, nearly 13 years after the incident. Why this is a landmark verdict for workplace rights against sexual harassment.
Nearly 13 years after a junior colleague accused Tehelka founder Tarun Tejpal of sexual assault, the Bombay High Court has overturned his acquittal and sentenced him to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment.
The case became a major flashpoint over consent, victim-blaming and the way survivors are expected to behave after sexual assault. In this video, we look at why the verdict matters beyond the Tejpal case, particularly for women facing sexual harassment at the workplace, where the accused may also hold power over their careers.
