The Bulli Bai case[a] related to an online mock auction of Muslim women in India. Photos of prominent Muslim journalists and activists were uploaded on the Bulli Bai app without their permission where they were auctioned virtually. Like Sulli Deals, the app did not actually sell anyone, but harassed and humiliated these women. The app has been removed from the Internet platform GitHub, where it was hosted, following outrage over the app.[1][2][3]

The police investigating the case, have found that the creators of the app identify as "Trads" (stands for "traditionalists”), who promote genocide against minorities.[4]
