The Delhi Police had registered a case following massive uproar on the auctioning of Muslim women on the eve of new year.
Three people have been arrested so far in connection with the webpages where hundreds of Muslim women were “auctioned”. These are 18-year-old Shweta Singh from Uttarakhand, who the police claims is the mastermind; her friend Mayank Rawat, 20, also from Uttarakhand and 21-year-old Vishal Kumar Jha. Jha was detained from Bengaluru on Monday and arrested a day later.
The police said the accused appeared to have used names related to the Sikh community in their Twitter handles which promoted the webpages in order to mislead people about their identity and add a communal angle.
The Mumbai Police is probing two such controversial webpages hosted on the code sharing platform, GitHub. The first web page was floated in July 2021 and the second, Bulli Bai, surfaced on January 1.
