New Delhi, Jan 20 (PTI) Over 250 former students of prominent institutions across the country, including the IIT-Bombay, the Xavier School of Management (XLRI), the Delhi University (DU) and the National Institute of Design (NID), have written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Ram Nath Kovind, demanding immediate action against the accused in the "Bulli Bai" and "Sulli Deals" apps cases.

They alleged that women in the country have never been more unsafe in online and offline spaces.

Asserting that the "silence of those at the helm" regarding such incidents indicates an apathy towards women's safety and emboldens the perpetrators of these hate crimes, they urged the leaders to take quick steps to ensure justice to the affected women.
