Neeraj Bishnoi (Bulli Bai App Creator) Biography

Neeraj Bishnoi is an Indian app developer from Assam who gained public attention after his arrest in connection with the Bulli Bai app case. He was a B.Eng

Early life and background

Neeraj Bishnoi was born in 2001 in Assam and grew up in Digambar Chowk, Jorhat. He completed his schooling at St. Mary’s School and later enrolled for a B.Tech program at Vellore Institute of Technology, Bhopal. His family includes his father, Dashrath Bishnoi, who worked as a shopkeeper, his mother, who is a homemaker, and two sisters—one of whom is a lawyer and the other is studying mathematics.

Career

Bishnoi is described as an app developer. Reports indicate that he had an early interest in computers and technology, receiving a laptop from the Assam government after scoring well in his class tenth examinations. He has said that he began learning hacking and practising related activities from his mid-teens.

Public profile

Neeraj came to widespread public attention in late 2021 and early 2022 in connection with the Bulli Bai app, which appeared on GitHub. The app used images of Muslim women without their consent and was presented as a virtual auction. Following complaints and an FIR filed by a journalist, Delhi Police arrested Bishnoi from Assam on 6 January 2022. He was placed in police custody and became one of several people detained in the matter.

Authorities described him as a principal conspirator in the creation of the app. During the investigation he acknowledged creating the app and associated social media accounts. He also said he used the Gurmukhi script for some coding tasks and acknowledged earlier activity online, including hacking attempts directed at some educational websites. While the sale aspect of the app was later reported to have been fake, the use of images without consent and the targeting of women drew public condemnation.

Consequences and institutional actions

As a result of the case, Bishnoi was suspended from his university. A Mumbai court later granted him bail in June 2022 on a bond. Reports note that he faced interrogation by police and that his arrest was widely covered in the media.

Personal details

Bishnoi has been identified by alternate spellings of his name. He is unmarried and practices Hinduism. Physical descriptions in public reports list his eye and hair colour as black.

Latest updates

Following the initial arrests and legal proceedings in 2022, Bishnoi secured bail from a Mumbai court on a bond of Rs. 50,000 each for him and two others. Coverage of the case included statements from victims and journalists emphasising the fear and harm caused by apps that publish personal images without consent.
