18-year-old arrested in connection with 'Bulli Bai' controversy | What has happened so far

Shweta Singh, the 18-year-old main accused in the Bulli Bai row, was arrested by the police on Tuesday. The woman was arrested from Adarsh Colony in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand. The SP of the cyber cell and intelligence agencies are interrogating the woman. A local court allowed the police a five-day transit remand to take the woman to Mumbai.

Photos of hundreds of Muslim women were uploaded on an app called 'Bulli Bai', following which many took to social media to complain to the police. Taking to Twitter, a journalist, who is one of the women named in the app, claimed that a group called 'Bulli Bai' was created like 'Sulli Deals' on GitHub, which would collect photos of Muslim women from their social media accounts and encourage people to participate in their "auction".
