Mumbai Court Discharges Vishal Jha in 'Bulli Bai' App Case Citing No Evidence
A Mumbai court discharged Vishal Jha, a former engineering student arrested in 2022 in connection with the 'Bulli Bai' app case, citing lack of evidence linking him to the app's creation or sharing of photos. The court noted that merely following the app or being in contact with co-accused does not constitute an offence. Meanwhile, another accused, Mayank Rawat, remains under investigation with prima facie evidence against him for posting photos of Muslim women on the app.
