So now a young woman who he very recently saw fit to employ, is not just a loose woman, but an agent of the fascists? This is Rape Number Two: the rape of the values and the politics that Tehelka claims it stands for, and an affront to those who work there and who have supported it in the past.

It is the hollowing out of the last vestiges of integrity, political as well as personal.

Free, fair, fearless. That is Tehelka’s definition of itself. Where is courage now?

>>> What the hell is Arunhati Roy saying? Does she think the young woman is telling the truth or not? Does she think Tejpal sexually assaulted the woman in the elevator or not? Does she agree with the fact that Tejpal did not take no for an answer or not?

It is irrelevant whether Tejpal and the young journalist had a previous relationship or not.

Don't forget Ms. Roy also knew this guy before they "grew apart".
