Allahabad HC Grants Bail to Muslim Men Accused of Disposing Leftover Biryani into Ganga during Iftar

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to eight Muslim men jailed since March for allegedly disposing of biryani leftovers in the Ganga during iftar. The accused apologized for hurting religious sentiments and pledged not to repeat such acts. Their counsel argued false implication and clean criminal records. The court considered bail fit without merit opinion. The case began after a viral video showed men disposing biryani from a motorboat in Varanasi. Police registered charges including hurting religious sentiments and extortion. The remaining three accused's bail hearings are scheduled Monday.
