Former Tehelka magazine editor Tarun Tejpal has suffered a major setback in the high-profile 2013 sexual assault case. The Goa Bench of the Bombay High Court sentenced him to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹5 lakh after convicting him. This verdict stems from a case in which a female junior colleague accused him of sexual assault inside a hotel elevator. The incident dates back to November 2013; it is alleged that Tejpal sexually assaulted his female junior colleague in a hotel elevator on November 7 and 8 during a Tehelka magazine event in Goa.
