New data, obtained from ${\beta }^{-}$ decay of ${}^{132}\mathrm{Sb}$ radioactive beam at HRIBF, has led to a significantly revised $\gamma$-decay scheme for ${}^{132}\mathrm{Te}$. The changes to the level scheme include a number of new, likely $2^{+}$, states below $2.5\text{MeV}$, which allows a test of very recent quasiparticle random phase approximation calculations with a density-dependent pairing force, and the removal of a $3^{-}$ state at $2281\text{keV}$, which resolves an incompatibility with the shell model and leads to a simple interpretation of the low-lying negative parity states.
