The person is detained on the basis of inputs received during the questioning of “Bulli Bai” app creator Niraj Bishnoi.

In both Sulli Deal and Bulli Bai applications, photos of women were allegedly uploaded without their consent and inappropriate remarks were passed against them. Both the apps used the hosting platform ‘GITHUB’ to auction the stolen photos. ‘Sulli deal” is a year-old case whereas “Bulli Bai” surfaced last month.

Other than Bishnoi, three other accused have also been arrested in the Bulli Bai app case.
