Mumbai Police Opposes Bail of Bulli Bai Accused, Cites Sulli Deals Involvement

The police told the court that Shweta Singh, Mayank Rawat, and Vishal Jha were also involved in Sulli Deals case.

The Mumbai Police on Monday, 17 January, opposed the bail pleas of the three accused arrested in the 'Bulli Bai' app case, noting that the ongoing probe has suggested that Shweta Singh, Mayan Rawat, and Vishal Jha were also involved in the Sulli Deals case.

"Preliminary probe has revealed that apart from Bulli Bai app, the arrested accused were also active in the Sulli Deals app of July 2021, and further probe is required to be done with this regard," the Mumbai Police's affidavit stated, according to Bar and Bench.

On 1 January, photos of hundreds of Muslim women were uploaded on an app by the name of 'Bulli Bai' using GitHub. This came nearly six months after the 'Sulli Deals' controversy, wherein pictures of Muslim women were similarly misused.
