Allahabad High Court Grants Anticipatory Bail to Student in Religious Conversion Case

The Allahabad High Court granted anticipatory bail to a Muslim Class 12 student accused under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act for allegedly forcing a Hindu classmate to wear a burqa and convert to Islam. The court noted the absence of evidence beyond the victim's statement and the accused's clean record. The case arose from a complaint by the Hindu student's brother, with the accused denying involvement and alleging harassment by the complainant's side.
