The Bombay High Court's (HC) conviction of former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal on Thursday marked a significant development in a nearly 13-year legal battle that began with allegations of sexual assault by a junior colleague in Goa in November 2013 and culminated with the court overturning his 2021 acquittal by a trial court.

Here is the timeline of the case:

November 2013: A junior colleague accused Tejpal of sexually assaulting her inside an elevator at a luxury hotel in Bambolim, Goa, where Tehelka was hosting its annual ThinkFest event.
