Delhi Court Grants Bail To Creators of Bulli Bai & Sulli Deals On ‘Humanitarian Grounds’
However, the bail has been granted on the strict conditions that they could not threaten any witness or tamper with the evidence.
New Delhi: A Delhi court Tuesday granted bail to the ‘Bulli Bai’ creator Niraj Bishnoi and ‘Sulli deals’ creator Omkareshwar Thakur on humanitarian grounds, news agency ANI reported.
During the grant of the bail, the court considered that both the accused are first-time offenders and continued incarceration will be detrimental to their overall wellbeing.
However, the bail has been granted on the strict conditions that they could not threaten any witness or tamper with the evidence.
The conditions also include that they will not try to contact or influence any of the victims, and will be present in all the hearings.
“The accused person would not tamper with evidence, would provide his contact details to Investigation Officer and would keep his phone switched on and would provide his location to IO,” said the court order.

The accused in the case were arrested in January for creating apps where photos of hundreds of Muslim women were posted without consent and misused.
Both the apps were created on GitHub. While Bulli Bai went public on January 1, 2022, Sulli Deals was created in July 2021. Bishnoi was arrested for creating the ‘Bulli Bai’ app and Thakur for ‘Sulli Deals’.
The surfacing of these apps led to public outrage including against the police for not taking any action against the first such incident involving ‘Sulli Deals’.
The Delhi police had arrested Bishnoi from Assam on January 6 and Thakur from Odisha on January 9 from Indore. Three more were arrested in the case including an 18-year-old woman.
