The case was triggered by an app called ‘Bulli Bai’, which appeared on open-source platform GitHub, putting out details of more than 100 Muslim women, allowing users to participate in an ‘auction’ of those women.
The arrests took place after an FIR was registered by the Cyber Cell of the Mumbai Police on January 1 against relevant Twitter handles and the developer of Bulli Bai app for offences under the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act based on complaints of women targeted by the app.
