Tehelka on Twitter as Tarun Tejpal's "conduct" breaks out to people

Tehelka magazine editor Tarun Tejpal today accepted "misconduct" against a woman journalist and offered to recuse himself from the post and the office for six months.

But even worse was the attempt to cover up the matter as "internal" and apologise and get away with it.

Twitterati went berserk in the night with the shocking news that Managing Editor, Shoma Chaudhury who, of course, is a female, is trying to cover up the matter and hush it away!

Here are some of the tweets that went viral after the shocking news broke out.

By the way, Tarun Tejpal began his literary career with the line 'Love is not the strongest glue between two people. Sex is.'

Bill Clinton & Tarun Tejpal. Both molested interns. Both thought they wouldn't get caught. Both admitted to it saying, 'lapse of judgement'.
