The Iftar video that went viral in Varanasi caused a stir. The accused shared the video made during Iftar on social media, which sparked controversy. Subsequently, the BJP leader filed a complaint with the police against some unknown persons. The police initiated an investigation based on the complaint.
It is reported that 14 accused had Iftar sitting on a boat in the Ganga river. It is alleged that the bones of chicken biryani eaten during Iftar were thrown into the Ganga. This act is being viewed as the desecration of the holy Ganga and an emotional insult to Hinduism.
