The Mumbai police had registered an FIR in the case following complaints made by several women, who were targeted by the 'Bulli Bai' app.
A Mumbai court while granting bail to three students in the Bulli Bai app case, which targeted Muslim women by arranging for their "auction", held that their "immature age and understanding" was misused by other accused with "deeper understanding".
Magistrate KC Rajput of Bandra court had granted bail to Vishal Kumar Jha, Shweta Singh and Mayank Agarwal on April 12, while it had denied bail to other accused Omkareshwar Thakur and Neeraj Singh. The detailed order was made available on Tuesday.
The court asked the parents or caretakers of the accused who were granted bail to, if possible, make them avail facilities to undergo counseling for norms of social behavior, including behavior on social media.
Earlier, both magistrate and sessions court had denied them bail. The accused had moved fresh pleas after the police filed its charge sheet in the case.
