SC Grants Bail to Accused in Mahant Giri Death Case

The Supreme Court has granted bail to Aadya Prasad Tiwari, who was accused in the death of Mahant Narendra Giri.

Mahant Giri, a prominent religious leader, was found dead in his residence in Allahabad in 2021.

The CBI, which is investigating the case, has charged Tiwari and others with abetment of suicide and murder.

The Supreme Court decided to grant bail because the trial is expected to take a long time and Tiwari is not considered the main accused.

The court also warned Tiwari to attend all trial proceedings and not influence any witnesses.

The CBI has recovered a video where Mahant Giri claimed that Anand Giri was going to release an edited video showing him in an objectionable position with a woman.
