Supreme Court Seeks Goa Response on Tarun Tejpal's Appeal Against 2013 Rape Conviction
The Supreme Court has issued notices to Goa Police and Tarun Tejpal regarding his appeal against the Bombay High Court's 10-year prison sentence for a 2013 rape conviction. The court also considered the Goa government's plea seeking enhancement of Tejpal's sentence to life imprisonment. Tejpal, who surrendered in September following the Supreme Court's directive, was convicted of aggravated rape and related offences after the High Court overturned his 2021 acquittal. The Supreme Court will schedule a hearing date for the appeals.
