Supreme Court declines to suspend Tarun Tejpal's 10-year jail term in 2013 Tehelka rape case
The Supreme Court has refused to stay the 10-year prison sentence handed to former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal in the 2013 rape case. The case stems from an alleged sexual assault of a junior colleague at an event organised by the magazine. Tejpal had sought a suspension of the sentence while his appeal is pending before the court. The apex court's decision means he will remain bound by the conviction during the appeal process. The ruling was delivered in response to his plea challenging the lower court's verdict.
