Notably, photos of hundreds of Muslim women were put up on the ‘Bulli Bai’ app for ‘auction’. The app came to light after several prominent Muslim women including journalists found their photos, sourced illegally, uploaded for (fake) auctioning to the highest bidders on a webpage on the hosting portal GitHub. The portal, on being opened, randomly showed a Muslim woman’s face as ‘Bulli Bai’. A Twitter handle was reportedly promoting the content on ‘Bulli Bai’.

GitHub confirmed that its user, who was behind the ‘Bulli Bai’ portal, has been blocked, according to official information.

The IFSO unit began investigating the case after a complaint was lodged at the Mumbai police cyber cell on January 1.
