Bulli Bai app case: Accused Shweta Singh, Mayank Rawat sent to 14-day judicial custody

Shweta Singh and Mayank Rawat were arrested from Uttarakhand by the Mumbai police earlier this month in connection with the 'Bulli Bai' app which targeted Muslim women.

Mumbai: A local court on Friday remanded Shweta Singh and Mayank Rawat, arrested in the 'Bulli Bai' app case, to 14-day judicial custody, while the former alleged she was slapped during interrogation.

Both accused were arrested from Uttarakhand by the Mumbai police earlier this month in connection with the 'Bulli Bai' app which targeted Muslim women. Singh, 18, and Rawat 21, also filed their bail applications soon after the magistrate's court in suburban Bandra remanded them to judicial custody for 14 days.

Metropolitan Maigistrate Komalsing Rajput sent them to jail after being informed that Rawat had tested positive for coronavirus. Earlier this week, Vishal Jha, the first accused arrested in the matter, and the investigating officer in the case had also tested positive for COVID-19.
