Bengaluru: A 35-year-old woman claimed to have found a mobile phone kept at the top of a wall inside a restroom at Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, which is located on Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru.
After coming out of the washroom with the phone in hand, the woman was approached by a young man working at the hospital. He demanded she return the device, but she refused and began to shout, which attracted the attention of nearby hospital staff. The man was immediately detained by colleagues and later arrested by the police.
The woman, a ward helper at the hospital, saw the phone while inside the toilet. She said that the device was placed in such a way that it could capture video footage of women’s private areas. According to her, the phone was kept on top a wall separating the toilet from another restroom.
