In a big setback for former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal, the Goa High Court on Thursday convicted him in the rape case filed by his junior colleague in 2013. The High Court overturned a trial court's 2021 acquittal of Tejpal. The Goa government had appeal against the acquittal. A division bench comprising Justices Dr Neela Gokhale and Amit Jamsandekar delivered the judgement following detailed arguments from both sides.
Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta argued the state government's appeal seeking to set aside the acquittal, while senior advocate Abad Ponda represented Tejpal. The case relates to allegations by a former junior colleague that the veteran journalist sexually assaulted her inside a hotel elevator during the ThinkFest event in Goa in November 2013.
