Bulli Bai case: Delhi court denies bail to mastermind Niraj Bishnoi

New Delhi, Jan 14: A Delhi court on Friday dismissed the bail application of 'Bulli Bai' app creator Neeraj Bishnoi, noting that a vilification campaign against Muslim women containing derogatory content and offending material having communal overtones was run on this app.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Pankaj Sharma refused the relief saying Bishnoi's act was affront to the dignity of the women of particular community and communal harmony of the society. "The facts disclose that accused created the app 'Bulli Bai' where women journalists and celebrities of a particular community who are famous on social media are targeted and they are projected in a bad light with an objective to insult and humiliate them by objectification," the court noted.

A vilification campaign against these women containing derogatory content and offending material having communal overtones was run on this app being made by the accused, it noted. "The act of the accused is apparently an affront to the dignity of the women of particular community and communal harmony of the society," the judge said.
