The whole Tehelka episode makes one wonder whether we need sting operations at all? No doubt a few culprits were caught and punished , but when a nexus forms between the sting operators and a political party, chances are that the opposition whichever it mmay be is the one that is going to be the target.The others get away...Listening to the many discussions on the media what I have perceived is that almost all these sting operators have god fathers belonging to one political party or the other, so it does not help at all in erradicating corruption !

It does not matter that who is target. Removal of corruption is not possible with string operation because courts don't accept it as evidance. But with string opertation peoples know about reality of political parties and its members.
Sting operation is very important in some cases. Many white collar criminal remain in veil. Their heinous crimes must come in front of the world.
What I feel that there is nothing wrong in these operations. We get to know about our respected so called big ones doing amazing things which we common people cannot even imagine or dream about them. Some could be fabricated but at least the innocent ones get an idea about weird side of the life.
Sting operations without partiality, Tehlaka has been doing tremendous works, but all its stings are aiming at one political party as if the other party is sacrosanct, this reduces the respects and demonize sting operations.
Some times I really think such sting operations are necessary to bring criminals especially the hi-profile socialite categories to book, but when we see the kind of dirt that is unburied to keep each of these operators one notch above their competitors, one begins to think that such operations are quite unnecessary, also seeing that most of the accused caught are never seen punished, one wonders about the futility of it all. Also by making hype about such operations, everyone is distracted from more critical issues!
Everything can be misused or fabricated. Sting oprerations can also be. But even these have their utility.

Of course if there is concrete evidence sting operation results are admissible in courts,We see how Bangaru Laxman of BJP got his due after such a sting operation by Tehelka.The problem is that Tehelka is a stooge of Congress so it targets only BJP ! It is now ironic that a BJP run state Goa is nailing him down...
Bangaru Laxman is alleging abt. the way Tehlaka functions, it is flashing on news headlines.

That's because Bangaru Laxman was exposed of his shady deals long ago by Tehelka. He was the first victim of Tehelka sting operations.

he is alleging that he is still blackmailed by Tehleka, as he had been punished and had stayed for abt, one year for this offense but still continue to be blackmailed by them. It is from news sticker.

I agree with you. Sting operation can also be fabricated to trap innocent person. Person may not know about the trap. The media would air the video in such a way that the person will be considered guilty. This can hamper the prestige of the known personality.

I read all about it. And they are bound to come. Now Tarun Tejpal is at the receiving end.

It might be true or false but all would be coming out, as he is in receiving end as you have mentioned and he is in this position because of him not of politics as he is accusing.

To see the veracity in his allegations, we have to wait and allow the law to work in the right direction.

Now he is cooperating, it seems that law will taken its own course. If he had committed the crime, then he is bound to be behind the bars and vice versa.

He's cornered from all sides. If he's wise he should confess his misdeeds, If he confesses law may be little lenient and the severity of punishment will be less.
Tehelka was probably one of the foremost in the game of sting operation but now there are so many of them doing it...I was watching to day how the political parties are going hammer and tongs to sling mud on each other therby encouraging the sting operators...new ones are cobra post expose and operation blue virus ! :huh: :dry:
