Tejpal to Move Supreme Court After Bombay HC Rape Conviction

In 2013, a woman made a very serious accusation against a famous Indian journalist named Tarun Tejpal.

She said he hurt her badly.

At first, a court said he was not guilty.

Later, a bigger court called the Bombay High Court looked at the case again.

That court changed the first decision and said Tejpal was guilty.

The judges said he must go to prison for 10 years.

Tejpal says the case is not fair and that people are using it to punish him for political reasons.

He is asking the Supreme Court, the highest court in India, to review his case.

Now, experts on a news show are debating whether his excuse will work in court.
