Student’s Bribes.fyi gets 50 lakh hits in 48 hours
Bribes.fyi, an anti-corruption platform, has announced an indefinite shutdown following a surge in traffic that overwhelmed the website. The platform, which allowed users to anonymously report alleged demands for bribes, received over five million requests and nearly 200,000 new users within 48 hours. The developers, including Aryan Nishad, a student from Maharaja Agrasen engineering college, stated they had no plans to reopen submissions due to concerns over managing the volume of data securely.
The decision came after the platform garnered widespread attention for collecting public reports of alleged bribery across various government departments.
