Akhtar on Tuesday slammed a section of social media users who questioned the honor of his great-grandfather Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi after he questioned PM Modi and raised his voice against the ongoing ‘Bulli Bai’ controversy

The controversy began when photographs of hundreds of Muslim women were collected from their social media accounts and uploaded to an app that would encourage people to participate in their auction.

Meanwhile, apart from the 18-year-old woman, a 21-year-old engineering student was also held in Bengaluru in a raid by a Mumbai Police team in connection with the ‘Bulli Bai’ row. Another person whose identity has not been disclosed yet was also arrested on Wednesday in the same case.
