Goa Moves Supreme Court Seeking Life Term for Tarun Tejpal in Sexual Assault Case The Goa government's decision to appeal for life imprisonment for Tarun Tejpal, former editor in chief of Tehelka, has reignited a wider conversation about accountability and justice in the MeToo era.

The case against Tejpal is particularly egregious because it involves an abuse of position and trust.
