Supreme Court Seeks Goa Police Response on Tarun Tejpal’s Rape Case Appeal

The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the Goa Police seeking their response on the appeal filed by former media personality Tarun Tejpal against his conviction in a rape case. The court’s order comes after Tejpal surrendered before a Goa court on September 14 to begin serving a 10‑year rigorous imprisonment sentence. The appeal challenges the conviction and seeks a review of the trial proceedings. The police are expected to submit their findings and any relevant evidence to the Supreme Court by the stipulated deadline, after which the court will decide on the next steps in the legal process.
