On Monday, a Mumbai Court rejected the bail petition of Vishal Kumar Jha, who was arrested for his alleged involvement in the ’Bulli Bai’ online mock auction of Muslim women. Photos of prominent Muslim women were uploaded on the app for their virtual auction.
Jha, 21, who is from Bihar & was enrolled for B. Tech in Bengaluru, was the first accused to be arrested in the case. He moved a sessions court after a metropolitan magistrate rejected his bail petition.
His lawyers Shivam Deshmukh & Aarti Deshmukh argued that the main accused in the case was someone else from Delhi & the other accused were from different states. They added that Jha was not linked to them.
The lawyers claimed Jha was falsely implicated in the case, & is neither the user nor the creator of any user identities concerned.
Mumbai Police are probing the app, which made headlines after derogatory references to the Muslim community.
