Mumbai Police arrests Bengaluru student in Bulli Bai app case

Within two days of a case being registered in the Bulli Bai app case, Mumbai police has arrested a suspect from Bengaluru.

According to Mumbai police officials, the suspect is a 21-year-old civil engineering student and his father is believed to be a government servant.

The suspect will be brought to Mumbai for questioning. Police officials said the 21-year-old had posted vulgar comments on the Muslim women after their pictures were posted on the Bulli Bai app.


Police officials suspect that he may have also probably created the app itself. However police officials said they would need to question him to confirm the same.

The Bulli bai app case pertains to Muslim women's photos being uploaded on apps and vulgar comments solicited against them.

The Mumbai and Delhi Police had on Sunday registered FIRs against unknown persons after photographs of at least 100 influential Muslim women were uploaded for auction on the app. There has been outrage by netizens and women rights groups over the dodgy Bulli Bai app.
