Agra.In the high-profile religious conversion case, the bail applications of 10 accused were presented before the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court on Thursday.

Krishna, Mohammad Rustom, Ashfan Khan, Shekhar Rai, Junaid Qureshi, Abu Talib, Mohammad Rahman, Abdul Rahman, Mohammad Ali alias Piyush Panwar and Manoj Kanoujiya alias Mustafa — argued that the case appeared to be driven by a political agenda, with no concrete evidence emerging in the investigation so far.

Defence lawyers maintained that “no direct evidence has surfaced to substantiate the serious allegations, and the entire case is nothing more than a political stunt.”
