The Bombay High Court's Goa bench convicted Tarun Tejpal of rape and outraging the modesty of a woman, reversing the Goa sessions court's May 2021 acquittal in a case stemming from an alleged 2013 incident at the ThinkFest event. Multiple sources confirm the conviction, the prior acquittal, the 2013 arrest and charges, and the absence of medical evidence cited by the lower court. The Goa government had appealed the acquittal.
