The Bulli Bai app, which you may be aware of, was created on the platform GitHub. It triggered a furore as photos of hundreds of Muslim women with significant social media following were misused with degrading texts as captions on 1 January, which implied that they were being auctioned.

And unfortunately, this is not the first time an incident like this has occurred, with the same thing taking place in July 2021 under the name of \\u201cSulli Deals\\u201d. With zero arrests till date, the lack of action by the Delhi Police left the victims without any justice.

\\nHowever, the present pace of investigation by the Mumbai police seems to have thrown up results within days of the incident.
