Tarun Tejpal verdict, healthcare system crisis, and PoK elections

from 3 Things · host Express Audio

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ National Legal Editor Apurva Vishwanath about the Bombay High Court’s conviction of former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal in a 2013 rape case, why it overturned his earlier acquittal, and its observation that the notion of a “perfect victim” is a myth.Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Purnima Sah about the series of protests affecting Maharashtra’s healthcare system, including attacks on medical workers, staffing shortages and opposition to allowing certain homeopathy practitioners to register with the Maharashtra Medical Council after completing a bridge course. (18:20)And in the end, we look at the indefinite postponement of voting for seven seats in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir amid violent protests, allegations of electoral manipulation, a sweeping security crackdown and mounting international concern.
