A 21-year-old BTech student was arrested on Friday after he was caught “red-handed” using his phone to film inside the women’s washroom at his college in Bengaluru.
The student, identified as Kushal Gowda, is a final-year computer science student at a private engineering college near Kumbalagodu on Mysuru Road.
The police were alerted after Kushal was caught in the act when a student in the washroom noticed his mobile phone near a cubicle and screamed, drawing the attention of other students nearby.
Police said that Kushal, while hiding inside the women’s toilet, had placed his mobile phone in a gap between the walls of the adjacent cubicles. There are seven cubicles for women, each with gaps in the walls separating them, as per The Times of India report.
“Accused Kushal was caught red-handed in the act. A girl, who entered the toilet, noticed the mobile phone placed in the gap in the wall and raised an alarm. She quickly came out and locked the adjacent toilet from outside. Later, others came and dragged Kushal outside and locked him inside the principal’s chamber,” an officer investigating the case stated.
The officer further stated that after receiving a complaint from the college management, they arrested Kushal and seized his mobile phone.
