HC convicts Tarun Tejpal in 2013 sexual assault case, sentences him to 10 years
The Bombay High Court convicted journalist Tarun Tejpal in the 2013 sexual assault case, sentencing him to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta argued Tejpal showed no remorse and urged the court to affirm that 'no means no'. The verdict overturns a 2021 sessions court acquittal, reinforcing legal accountability for sexual violence and the principle of consent under Sections 376, 354A, 354B, 341, and 342 IPC.
