A court has refused to permit businessman Vaibhav Raut to travel abroad for a family vacation, labeling his reason for travel as 'too trivial.'

Raut, out on bail, sought permission to visit Vietnam with his family, but the court dismissed the plea, citing insufficient reasons and the serious nature of charges against him.

Arrested in 2018 for alleged involvement with explosives, Raut is on trial under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The court underscored that his travel plans were not permissible given the terms of his bail.
