Mumbai cyber police recently arrested an 18-year-old woman from Uttarakhand in connection with the ‘Bulli Bai’ app case. The cyber cell had filed the FIR against unidentified persons following complaints that photographs of Muslim women were uploaded for auction on the app hosted by GitHub platform. The woman identified as Shweta Singh is alleged to be the main culprit in the case and was detained by the Mumbai police on January 4.
Now, veteran lyricist-writer Javed Akhtar has reacted to the ongoing case and the arrest of the 18-year-old woman, who is believed to be the main accused in the case. Akhtar tweeted, “If ‘bulli bai’ was really masterminded by an 18 year old girl who has recently lost her parents to cancer and corona, I think the women or some of them meet her and like kind elders make her understand that why whatever she did was wrong. Show her compassion and forgive her.”
