Are being censored by some wikipedians (AndyTheGrump FreeRangeFrog Evano1van Evano1van), because according to them "sourcing is poor", "its just one incident". And because "its only allegation" despite the fact that:
a) Tarun Tejpal have himself admitted that it took place. b) Have apologized for it. c) Have stepped down from the post of Editor because of that.
But most interesting are edits by Kabik13: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kabik13
So am I wrong to ask if some in Tehelka are behind some of this censorship ??? Anmol.2k4 (talk) 20:43, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

The lady was Tarun Tejpal's employee and according to media reports he threatened her losing her job if she does not accept his advances. And its a case of sexual assault almost commiting to rape according to new Rape law in India and not a simple case of Sexual Harassment as reported by you, So please do these corrections so that world will know the character of this guy and Tehelka as a organisation and their double standards.

Tarun Tejpal's father is an congress MLA from Punjab and his mother is sister of Kapil Sibal the Union minister. 106.51.180.12 (talk) 12:34, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
This article was just brought to my attention on my talk page, and looking through it and Shoma Chaudhury I was quite impressed with how the involved editors have included the coverage, without giving in to sensationalism, or the temptation to cover every new news detail (X was questioned; Y said...; Z's family was approached etc). Nice work! Abecedare (talk) 18:55, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
"Some have questioned the time it took for me to file my complaint, more inquisitive commentators have questioned the use of the word "sexual molestation" versus words like "rape."..." "Perhaps the hardest part of this unrelentingly painful experience has been my struggle with taxonomy. I don't know if I am ready to see myself as a "rape victim", for my colleagues, friends, supporters and critics to see me thus. It is not the victim that categorizes crimes: it is the law. And in this case, the law is clear: what Mr. Tejpal did to me falls within the legal definition of rape." "...We have spoken, time and again, about how rape is not about lust or sex, but about power, privilege and entitlement. Thus this new law should be applicable to everybody - the wealthy, the powerful, and the well connected - and not just to faceless strangers. Full text: Tarun Tejpal raped me, says victim in new statement
Why doesn't this article use a different nomenclature, we could write "That Tejpal is accused by the victim of raping her, citing India's broadened definition of rape" 59.94.210.254 (talk) 04:19, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Add a para in the sub header: Sexual harassment allegation
Many believe that the Indian mainstream media's response to the allegation was irresponsible [2] while the BJP-run state's intervention in the case was deemed unprecedented [3], as the Goa CM Manohar Parrikar, a BJP politician labelled Tejpal a "Congress stooge" [4]. Another politician from the right-wing political party, Sushma Swaraj alleged that the Congress party was supporting Tejpal [5]. In an investigative journalism operation carried out by Tehelka in 2001, the BJP president at the time, Bangaru Laxman, was caught on camera accepting money for recommending a fictitious company West End International to the Indian Army for contracts on hand-held thermal imagers. The sting operation led to the resignation of the then Defense MInister, George Fernandes and in 2012, the conviction of Laxman.
