NEW DELHI: Several women s rights activists on Friday questioned the grounds on which journalist Tarun Tejpal was acquitted in a rape case and said the Goa court s verdict would deter other women from coming forward to report cases of sexual assault and abuse.
Some of the activists pointed out that Tejpal had himself admitted to attempting to assault the woman and tendered an apology, and said the judgement is disappointing and demotivating.
