On tuesday, a sessions court in Mumbai granted bail to three students arrested in the 'Bulli Bai' app case. Niraj Bishnoi, Aumkareshwar Thakur and Neeraj Singh were granted bail by Additional Sessions Judge AB Sharma.
The app had made the details of several Muslim women public to allow people to participate in their "auction".
In the bail application, filed through advocate Shivam Deshmukh, Niraj Bishnoi claimed he had been falsely implicated in the case, and sought parity as his co-accused had been given bail.

The police, in its charge sheet filed in March, had claimed Bishnoi asked a co-accused to send photographs of 100 "famous non-BJP Muslim women" in order to put them up for auction.
The charge sheet also said Bishnoi was the first to share the link of Bulli Bai app on his Twitter group and members of the group were fully aware that it would be used to target Muslim women.
