Tehelka Editor Tarun Tejpal Convicted of Rape by Bombay High Court
The Bombay High Court overturned a trial court's acquittal, convicting former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal of rape. The High Court described the trial court's 2021 verdict as "distorted," stating it was based on the assumption that a sexual assault complainant must be a "total victim" and behave in a certain way to appear credible. The case stems from a complaint filed 13 years ago.
