Bombay High Court on Thursday, August 5, reversed the 2021 acquittal of former Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal in the 2013 sexual assault case, for rape by a person in a position of trust or authority, along with sections for sexual harassment and assault with intent to disrobe.
The case dates back to November 2013, when a former junior colleague accused Tejpal of sexually assaulting her twice inside a hotel elevator during a Tehelka magazine event in Goa. He was arrested that November and later granted bail, while a Goa sessions court acquitted him of all charges in May 2021. However, the state government challenged the verdict before the Bombay High Court, following which Tejpal was convicted.
