Bulli Bai, an app developed by a group of young Indian men from across the country to earn money by tricking people. Most of the men are yet to be identified.

-The idea behind the app is to put Indian women (mostly Muslims) up for auction in online and earn money in return.

-If you are wondering about the auction, these are fake auctions created by the cybercriminals. They trick users making them think that they have got the woman in exchange of money. Good to know that no such real auction incident has been reported yet.

-In incidents like Bulli Bai, cybercriminals pick photos of popular women, celebrities, influencers, journalists, and so on, from the web and use them for their financial gains.
 

-These online scammers are stealing photos of women from their social media accounts and listing them in the Bulli Bai platform. So, this makes it mandatory for women to always lock their profile or make their profile private.

-Soon after several posts from the Bulli Bai app were circulated on Twitter, the government directed the social media platform to remove such derogatory posts with immediate effect.

-Currently, two students, one from Mumbai and one from Bengaluru, have been taken into custody in the Bulli Bai app case. Additionally, earlier today, a woman from Uttarakhand was also detained in the case.

This isn’t the first time that an incident like this has taken place. A similar incident occurred last year called Sulli Deals, which stirred the internet. the Sulli Deals controversy too had photos of Indian Muslim women on auction.

Incidents like these imply how unsafe women regardless of their religion are on the internet these days.
