Delhi police arrests Bulli Bai app creator from Assam

The main conspirator in the Bulli Bai case in which Muslim women were put up on an online 'auction' has been arrested from Assam. A total of four arrests have been made in the case so far. Three people were earlier arrested in the case by the Mumbai Police, including the prime accused -- 18-year-old Shweta Singh. Neeraj Bishnoi, arrested from Assam by Delhi Police Special Cell's IFSO team, is the main conspirator and creator of 'Bulli Bai' on GitHub and the main Twitter account holder of the app," K P S Malhotra, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit, told the media on Thursday in New Delhi.  According to police Neeraj Bishnoi is a second year B.Tech student in Bhopal. He is a resident of Assam's Digambar Jorhat. The police have also seized a device from his home on which the app was created. The controversy surfaced on January 1 as several Muslim women found themselves listed for 'auction'.

The egregious app appeared to be a clone of 'Sulli Deals', which had triggered a row last year by offering users a 'sulli' - an insulting term used by right-wing trolls for Muslim women. That was hosted by the same platform, GitHub. The earlier three arrests were made by the cyber cell of Mumbai Police. 21-year-old student Mayank Rawal, 19-year-old Shweta Singh and engineering student Vishal Kumar Jha have been arrested earlier. Mumbai Police has said Shweta Singh is the mastermind in the case.
