Some Thoughts on the so-called "Tejpal Tapes" - following now:
2:06 PM - 29 Mar 2014

@Amannama

1. I have not seen the CCTV footage of #Tejpal case. No one but the court and defence/prosctn are entitled to the footage

2:08 PM - 29 Mar 2014

@Amannama

2. CCTV footage has been given to the media, it is clear that Tejpal wants a media trial contrary to the pious complaints of his friends

3. Both @Outlookindia and Seema Mustafa suffer from a basic conceptual error by assuming that CCTV is the central piece of evidence

2:12 PM - 29 Mar 2014

4. CCTV footage is not the fulcrum of this case. Lots of other evidence: emails, smses, witness sttemnts, call records pointing to his guilt

2:15 PM - 29 Mar 2014

5. Any video footage must be analyzed through context - the context in this case is Tejpals emails and smses

2:19 PM - 29 Mar 2014

6. In his email, #Tejpal admits to the act, apologies for forcing himself on victim despite her "clear reluctance".

2:20 PM - 29 Mar 2014
-----------------------------------

7. In his smses, #Tejpal references and confirms the mode of assault

2:21 PM - 29 Mar 2014
-----------------------------------

@Amannama

8. Apart from minor inconsistencies, CCTV matches the victim's complaint and actually supports her account and her timeslines

2:21 PM - 29 Mar 2014
-----------------------------------

@Amannama

9. Statements by witnesses who met the victim immediately after the incident have testified that she was distraught by the assault

2:27 PM - 29 Mar 2014

10. These witnesses have subsequently been forced out of #Tehelka

11. @seemamustafa 's piece is NOT a case of investigation by the "watchdog of democracy" as she claims.

12. The slant of her piece is the reason why many victims are afraid of speaking out.
