As the investigation into the Bulli Bai app case is going on, interesting details about main perpetrator Niraj Bishnoi, a 21-year-old engineering student from Assam, have emerged. On Saturday, police said Niraj has claimed that he has been hacking and defacing websites, not only of Indian institutions but also of Pakistan. He also claimed he learnt hacking at a young age and has been doing this since the age of 15. Niraj was arrested on charges of developing Bulli Bai app which put out photos of Muslim women for auctioning.
His father said Niraj used to remain always glued to his computer while his family members had no idea what he was up to. However, he said he had to visit his school principal on several occasions after Niraj's computer got confiscated but he had no idea what his son was doing on the computer. Questioning Niraj, police have come to know that he is a repeat offender, was active during the Sulli Deals investigation and had five different Twitter accounts. He has claimed to have hacked websites, police said.
