Bulli Bai: Indian man arrested for fake auction of Muslim women

Indian police have arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with an app that shared photos of more than 100 Muslim women saying they were on "sale".

He is an engineering student from the southern city of Bangalore whose identity has not been revealed.

The charges against him are unclear but he is a "close follower" of the app, Bulli Bai, police told BBC Marathi.

The app was hosted on web platform GitHub, which has since taken it down amid widespread anger and outrage.

Photographs of several prominent Muslim journalists and activists were used on the app without their permission and put on "sale" in a fake auction.
