Any proofs for calling Tehelka's news fake?

Tehelka is one of the few publications in India I would trust.

Off-topic but in the past, tehelka has not been one of the most ethical publications so I would take their reports with a pinch of salt.
They were one of the few publications who were extremely pro-IIPM when investigative bloggers were pointing out that IIPM was a degree mill. It turned out later that the IIPM family was a big contributer to Tehelka.

I think their Wikipedia page does a good job of showing their record. They've done more investigative journalism than all of the other papers combined.

I didn't really call it fake, did I? It's a sensationalist publication that once actually offered and sent prostitutes rigged with hidden cameras to politicians. It's not a traditional publication by any means. In fact, the name itself means 'Sensation'.
There probably is some truth in this story, but take it with a healthy dose of skepticism, because you're not going see objectivity here.
Umm, you wrote "so don't expect any kind of objectivity or even truth from them" (note the last phrase). I think 'kang' was right to challenge you.
Anyway for readers who don't know India: Tehelka is an independent newsmagazine that specializes in investigative journalism. I also hold them in very high regard.
Just my two cents.
They probably meant that a major upgrade won't be needed to be paid for.
Anyway this is Tehelka, one of the big 'rags' in India, so don't expect any kind of objectivity or even truth from them. They will print anything if it drives interest.
