BENGALURU:A 21-year-old final-year computer science student from a private engineering college near Kumbalagodu on Mysuru Road was arrested on Friday afternoon on charges of recording inside a women’s toilet using his mobile phone.
The accused is Kushal Gowda, a resident of Chikkagollarahatti, Magadi Road, and a VII semester student. Police investigations revealed that Kushal was hiding inside the ladies’ toilet and had placed his mobile phone in the gap between the walls of the adjacent toilets.There are seven rooms for ladies, each with a gap in the wall between them.
“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. After receiving a complaint from the college management, we arrested him and seized the mobile phone,” an investigating officer said.
When checked, Kushal had recorded for nearly 15 minutes, police said. “The girl raised the alarm by 10.45 am. It means he entered the toilet and placed the mobile around 10.30 am,” police said, adding, “Management too should be blamed. The CCTVs installed near the women’s toilets are not working. Also, the management has not bothered to deploy a woman attendant near the toilet,” police said.
