Tehelka Founder-Editor Tarun Tejpal Acquitted In Rape Case By Goa Court

The founder-editor of Tehelka magazine; Tarun Tejpal has been acquitted of rape charges by Goa Court on Friday. The editor was accused of forcing himself on a colleague in an elevator on the sidelines of a conference at a resort in Goa in 2013. Four years later, the trial court charged him with rape and sexual harassment. He then challenged it in the Apex Court, which ordered the trial to continue in Goa. The allegations came in public domain after emails in which the woman complained to her seniors at Tehelka and their response were leaked. He was arrested in 2013 and after an year he got a bail and since then he has been out on bail.
