'Billu Bai' App Case: Prime Accused Held by Delhi Police From Assam

GUWAHATI: The main conspirator and creator of 'Bulli Bai' on GitHub and the primary Twitter account holder with the same name have been held by Delhi Police's Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations unit (IFSO) from Assam.

The accused's name is Niraj Bishnoi aged 21 and he is a second-year BTech student from VIT, Bhopal, DCP KPS Malhotra said.

The police team with the arrested youth will reach Delhi at 3.30 PM.

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

Three people were earlier arrested in the case by the Mumbai Police, including the prime accused -- 18-year-old Shweta Singh.

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

Hundreds of Muslim women were listed for "auction" on the "Bulli Bai" mobile application with photographs sourced without permission and doctored. The app appeared to be a clone of "Sulli Deals" which triggered a similar row last year.
