Former Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal surrendered before a Goa court on Monday to serve his 10-year rigorous imprisonment sentence in a 2013 sexual assault case, news agency PTI reported.

On August 25, the Supreme Court directed Tejpal to surrender within three weeks to undergo his 10-year prison sentence following his conviction by the Bombay High Court. A Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Alok Aradhe dismissed Tejpal's plea seeking exemption from surrendering.
