The Bombay High Court on Thursday convicted former Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal in the 2013 sexual assault case, overturning his 2021 acquittal by a Goa trial court. The court sentenced him to 10 years’ rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹10.1 lakh. The High Court relied on the survivor’s testimony, apology emails and corroborative evidence while holding Tejpal guilty, marking a major development in the 13-year-old high-profile case.
