Delhi Police Arrested Bulli Bai App Creator Neeraj Bishnoi

Cyber wing has arrested one more person in the case

Delhi Police has arrested the creator of the Bulli Bai app, from Assam.

A total number of four arrests have been made in the case so far. Photographs of several Muslim women were uploaded on the app without their consent for a virtual auction. The case triggered a huge outrage.

Neeraj Bishnoi is a second year B.Tech student from the Vellore Institute of Technology in Bhopal. He is a resident of Assam's Digambar Jorhat.

The police have seized a device from his residence on which the app was created.

Earlier, three people were arrested in this case by the Mumbai Police, including the mastermind who was 18-year-old Shweta Singh.

On Wednesday, Mayank Rawal (21) was nabbed from Uttarakhand in the case, while engineering student Vishal Kumar Jha (21) was held from Bengaluru on Monday.

Amid the ongoing ‘Bulli Bai’ controversy, another channel on Telegram came to light on Tuesday that allegedly targeted Hindu women.

The channel was created on the cross-platform Telegram in which photos of Hindu women were allegedly shared without their concern.

After a series of viral tweets on Twitter, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology blocked the channel.

IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Twitter, “Channel blocked. Government of India coordinating with police authorities of states for further action.”
