The cybercrime police in Mumbai have arrested a woman they believe is the main suspect in dealing with an online app called Bulli Bali to auction Muslim women on the Internet.

The police arrested a day before, a young man, whose name was not mentioned, but only that he is 21 years old and studies information technology, and grew up in the city of "Bangalore" in southern India.

As for the arrested woman, she was accused of publishing pictures of 100 Muslim women, with insinuations that one of them was for sale through a public auction.

According to Al Arabiya Net.

The Electronic Police had earlier submitted a preliminary media report against unknown persons, after complaints that pictures of Muslim women had been uploaded to an application used by a platform known as GitHub to sell them through an online auction, according to the English-language newspaper The New Indian Express. The platform's custodians have deleted the "Poly Bali" app after they deactivated it, due to heavy criticism of its content, and the outrage it caused.

The application includes pictures of a number of Muslim journalists and activists, in addition to a picture of a famous actress, without the permission of any of them. Then the word “for sale” was published next to the pictures to make it look like a real public auction to sell one of them to the highest bidder.
