New Delhi: Coming 11 years after the sting operation, the conviction of former Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) president Bangaru Laxman on Friday by a Delhi court for accepting a bribe from a fake arms dealer is a vindication for Tehelka, its manag

ing editor said.

” It is a vindication of the story which we ( Tehelka) exposed 11 years ago.

Tehelka has paid high price after exposing Laxman… we had to shut down for two years. But we stood and defended our story…. We have no personal agenda with any political parties,” Tehelkas Shoma Chaudhary told IANS. ” Many questioned us for our veracity, many investigated the people who brought out this story, but we have proved it,” Chaudhary said.
