Indian journalist Tarun Tejpal convicted in rape case

The Goa bench of the Bombay High Court has convicted Tarun Tejpal, the founder and former editor of Tehelka magazine, for raping a junior colleague. This ruling overturns a 2021 trial court verdict that had previously cleared the 63-year-old journalist of all charges. The incident occurred in a five-star hotel lift in Goa during November 2013. Tejpal previously spent seven months in jail before the supreme court granted him bail in this high-profile case.
