Mumbai Court Rejects Bail in Mithi River Desilting Scam

A retired engineer in Mumbai was denied bail because the court believes he helped a company by changing the rules for a river cleaning project.

The engineer took trips to see how special machines worked.

Prosecutors said he changed reports to make sure those machines were used.

The court also said a company that made the machines might have helped pay for the trips.

However, the directors of the machine company were granted bail.

The case involves claims of improper actions in a project to clean the Mithi River.
