Tarun Tejpal moves Supreme Court against conviction in 2013 rape case
Tarun Tejpal, former editor-in-chief of Tehelka magazine, moved the Supreme Court to challenge his conviction and 10-year sentence for the 2013 rape of a journalist. The Bombay High Court had reversed his earlier acquittal on August 6, convicting him for aggravated rape. The Goa government also seeks a life term, with Tejpal required to surrender within four weeks.
