The Bombay High Court's Goa bench on Thursday convicted former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal in the 2013 sexual assault case, overturning his acquittal by a Goa Sessions Court in 2021. The court found him guilty of raping a woman colleague at a Goa hotel during an event in 2013. Tejpal was arrested the same year after the survivor accused him of sexually assaulting her inside a hotel elevator. He had denied the allegations throughout the case. The Sessions Court had earlier acquitted him, citing insufficient evidence, but the High Court reversed that verdict. (PC: X)
