[00:12:59] The High Court overturned the lower court's decision. This matter was challenged [00:13:02] in the High Court and Tarun Tejpal was found guilty in the case of sexual [00:13:06] assault and now the court has announced the sentence and Tarun Tejpal has been sentenced [00:13:10] to 10 years in this case. [00:13:13] Earlier, the family of the victim [00:13:17] in this case also reacted. They said that after a long [00:13:20] struggle, justice has finally been served [00:13:24] in this case. This case is many years old, [00:13:27] in which first the lower court heard the case, where he was acquitted. [00:13:31] This was challenged in the High Court and when the hearing was completed in the High Court, [00:13:35] the court found him guilty and sentenced him to 10 [00:13:38] years in this case. [00:13:42] Sujata is with us. Sujata, tell us what the court said [00:13:45] in this case. Yes, see, the Bombay High Court has given a big [00:13:49] verdict, sentencing Tarun Tejpal to 10 years. [00:13:52] This is a case from 2013, [00:13:55] when on November 7 and 8, 2013, [00:13:59] Tarun Tejpal was accused of raping a junior employee. [00:14:03] Immediately after that, this whole matter [00:14:06] gained momentum and after that the matter dragged on for many years. [00:14:10] After 13 years of intense legal battle, Tarun Tejpal has finally been [00:14:13] sentenced. Let me tell you that in 2021, [00:14:17] when a trial court in Mapusa acquitted Tarun Tejpal [00:14:21] of all charges, stating that the evidence did not [00:14:25] prove that he had committed any [00:14:28] kind of sexual assault with a junior colleague. [00:14:32] And also because the evidence was only CCTV footage and [00:14:35] a statement of the victim, [00:14:39] it was said that it did not make a strong [00:14:43] case. After that, the Goa government challenged this whole matter in the Bombay High Court [00:14:46] and today a hearing was held, in which first the Bombay High [00:14:50] Court overturned the Mapusa Court's decision of 2021. [00:14:54] And in this whole matter, Tarun Tejpal [00:14:57] was first convicted, after which there was a discussion about sentencing, [00:15:01] as to how many years Tarun Tejpal should be sentenced [00:15:05] to, and now Tarun Tejpal has been sentenced to 10 years [00:15:09] here, and in this whole matter, if you look at [00:15:12] it, whether it is the Goa government or the victim's [00:15:16] family, they have been pleading for this hearing for many years, [00:15:19] saying that their daughter has been wronged and she should get [00:15:23] justice. Yes. Sujata, the court has also imposed [00:15:27] a fine here. This can be called [00:15:28] a strict sentence. [00:15:31] Absolutely, this is a very strict sentence, because in 2021, [00:15:35] the Mapusa court had acquitted him, after which this whole case [00:15:38] seemed to be put on the back burner, as to how such [00:15:42] a suspicious culprit could be acquitted. [00:15:46] This whole battle lasted for 13 years, [00:15:49] and now, in this whole [00:15:53] matter, not only has he been sentenced to 10 years, but a fine of ₹5 [00:15:56] lakh has also been imposed. Let me tell you [00:16:00] that all the sections that have been implemented [00:16:03] against Tarun Tejpal, whether it is section 376 [00:16:10] or offense 354, [00:16:14] if you combine all of them, then a long [00:16:17] and a large penalty [00:16:20] fine has been imposed on Tarun Tejpal. Along with this, he [00:16:24] will now have to serve a sentence of 10 years. [00:16:27] After 2021, perhaps no one would have thought that Tarun Tejpal would again [00:16:31] be sentenced by the Bombay High Court or any court, but now, in this [00:16:35] whole matter, it can be said that the victim [00:16:38] has received justice, and her mother also said [00:16:42] that she had been pleading for many years, and now [00:16:45] her daughter's case has been heard, she has received justice, [00:16:49] and Tarun Tejpal will now have to spend [00:16:52] 10 years in jail. Yes, absolutely. So, as our colleague [00:16:56] was telling, this case is from 2013, in which first the lower court [00:16:59] here heard this case, where this case was heard, [00:17:03] and after that, when the evidence was not accepted [00:17:06] there, it was challenged in the High Court, and the High Court [00:17:10] found him guilty in this case and sentenced Tarun Tejpal [00:17:14] to 10 years in this sexual harassment case. [00:17:18] But Sujata, if we look at the background of this case, [00:17:21] how did this case come to light in 2013, and how [00:17:24] did this whole court proceeding continue in this [00:17:28] long hearing? Please tell us about this too, because [00:17:32] the family, their first reaction is [00:17:35] that they had to struggle for a long time, and now they have finally received [00:17:39] justice from the court. Absolutely, see, if we talk about the history [00:17:43] of this case, in history, this is a case from November [00:17:47] 2013, when the entire team of Tehelka magazine [00:17:50] reached Goa for an event in a five-star hotel [00:17:53] there, and this whole incident happened during this event, where [00:17:57] on November 7 and 8, here, [00:18:00] the editor of this news magazine, [00:18:04] Tarun Tejpal, in a lift with [00:18:15] has finally been sentenced by the court. He has been sentenced to 10 [00:18:18] years and the court has also imposed a fine of ₹5 [00:18:22] lakh. [00:19:31] proceedings.

[00:24:33] I am going to start with today's first big news, and the first big news [00:24:36] is the one that the whole country has been watching. We will start [00:24:40] from Ranchi. You saw that there was a student protest [00:24:43] at Jantar Mantar, and it is the 12th day of the protest [00:24:46] going on in Ranchi. Social activist Sonam Wangchuk [00:24:50] has entered this protest. I will tell you how [00:24:53] the stir in Jharkhand has intensified. For the past [00:24:57] 12 days, students in Ranchi have been protesting for their five demands. [00:25:01] They were on the streets, protesting at crossroads. This [00:25:04] student protest is regarding irregularities in two exams [00:25:07] of Jharkhand. [00:25:10] We will eat, we will defeat the corrupt. We will eat [00:25:16] and drink. Long live, long live student unity, long live. [00:25:50] amidst which the picture came, I am going to show you an interesting one, see the next [00:25:53] picture, student leader Devendra [00:25:56] Nath Mehto was on hunger strike and there were reports [00:25:59] of his health deteriorating, Devendra Mehto's picture. You are [00:26:02] watching. [00:26:05] Due to Devendra Mehto's hunger strike, at least the government [00:26:10] to meet the students, but in this, see the next interesting [00:26:14] picture I am going to show you, if you have seen at Jantar Mantar that [00:26:18] the hunger striker and social activist Sonam Wangchuk [00:26:20] has now talked to him who was on hunger strike [00:26:24] in Ranchi, both talked on video call, if you remember [00:26:28] that Sonam Wangchuk had also ended his hunger strike when [00:26:32] he [00:27:32] understood, Devendra Nath Mehto drank water. However, he clarified [00:27:36] that his hunger strike would continue until his demands were [00:27:39] met. [00:27:43] You are seeing these pictures. The common people who were on hunger strike drank water. [00:27:47] Sonam Wangchuk had talked to them and explained [00:27:49] that it is important for you to be healthy [00:27:53] for this protest, [00:27:56] fulfilled. [00:28:09] And regarding this movement, see, when the Jharkhand [00:28:12] government saw that Jantar Mantar became an example when students were on [00:28:16] the streets, the protest started in Jharkhand, so the Jharkhand government is on the back foot [00:28:19] regarding this movement. Hemant Soren started brainstorming [00:28:23] about this, a series of meetings started, [00:28:27] met with ministers, a team of officials also went [00:28:30] to meet the students. [00:28:34] There is another reason behind this, if you have seen that when there was a protest at Jantar Mantar, [00:28:37] Congress and other opposition parties were active, here [00:28:41] BJP is continuously cornering the Hemant Soren government on this [00:28:44] occasion. Babulal Marandi met the protestors and gave full [00:28:48] support to the movement. At this BJP, [00:28:52] it was a political [00:28:55] opportunity to give an answer, which was seen [00:28:57] in Jharkhand. [00:29:04] On the other hand, see, Congress also entered. NSUI [00:29:07] workers also [00:29:10] met the protestors. Congress's student wing [00:29:13] NSUI workers arrived and met those who are protesting [00:29:17] and on hunger [00:29:18] strike.

[00:30:07] In the monsoon session of Jharkhand Assembly, the opposition surrounded the Soren government. [00:30:10] In the paper scam case, BJP demanded CBI inquiry.
