How Bombay High Court picked apart trial court’s acquittal of Tarun Tejpal
The Bombay High Court convicted Tarun Tejpal of aggravated rape, overturning a 2021 acquittal by a Goa trial court. The High Court criticized the trial court's view that the survivor's behavior was inconsistent with that of a sexual assault victim, stating such notions are myths. Tejpal received a ten-year sentence and has four weeks to surrender.
