The Bombay High Court overturned Tejpal's 2021 acquittal, holding the former Tehelka editor guilty in the 2013 rape case. The Bombay High Court on Thursday convicted former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal in the 2013 rape case, overturning his acquittal by a Goa trial court in 2021. Following his acquittal by a sessions court, the Goa government challenged the verdict before the Bombay High Court. Rejecting the trial court's findings, the Bombay High Court ultimately allowed the state's appeal and convicted Tejpal. On Thursday, the Bombay High Court overturned the acquittal, convicted Tejpal, and is set to pronounce the quantum of sentence separately.
