Nearly two months after the arrest of 14 Muslim youths in Varanasi, India, for allegedly discarding leftover chicken biryani into the Ganga River, police are still waiting for a forensic report and have yet to file a chargesheet. The youths were arrested on March 17 and face charges including hurting religious sentiments and violating pollution laws. Their bail hearing is set for May 5 at the Allahabad High Court after previous applications were denied. In the meantime, boat operators on the Ganga are tightening regulations to prevent similar incidents. New guidelines prohibit non-vegetarian food, alcohol, and waste disposal on boats. The president of the Maa Ganga Nishad Raj Sewa Niyas, Pramod Majhi, emphasized the need for safeguards to protect the Ganga's sanctity. Families of the accused assert that the charges are baseless and that their sons are frustrated with the ongoing detention without sufficient evidence.
