Five men were arrested on Tuesday for allegedly consuming alcohol and cooking non-vegetarian food aboard a boat on the Ganga river in Varanasi. All were granted bail the same day.
The accused have been identified as Deepak Kumar, Ajay Sahni, Arun Kumar Sahni, Anurag Nishad and Rahul Sahni, all in their 20s and residents of Varanasi, said police. They did odd jobs. The incident, however, does not appear to be recent. Police said preliminary examination suggested it had been recorded during the winter months.
In a similar case in March, Varanasi Police had arrested 14 men after a video purportedly showing an iftar gathering on a boat went viral. Police had said the men allegedly consumed chicken biryani and threw leftover food into the river. The men secured bail in May, months after their arrest.
