Allahabad High Court grants bail to Ganga iftar row accused in Varanasi amid waste allegation dispute

HC granted bail despite allegations of throwing waste

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to men accused in the Varanasi Ganga iftar row, where they were alleged to have eaten non-vegetarian food on a boat and thrown leftover waste into the river. Justice Rajiv Lochan Shukla passed the order while hearing bail applications, and set May 18 for the next round of pleas by other accused. During arguments, the defence said the men were falsely implicated and not named in the FIR filed on March 16.
