Spycams in toilet, bedroom: Delhi man held for recording woman tenant

NEW DELHI: A 30-year-old man has been arrested for installing spy cameras in his tenant, a civil service aspirant's washroom and bedroom in Delhi's Shakarpur area, as per PTI.

While going out of town, the woman used to hand over the keys to her rented accommodation to her landlord's son Karan, according to PTI.

While she was absent, he installed spy cameras in the bulb holders in the washroom and bedroom of the flat.

After the woman witnessed an unusual activity on her WhatsApp, the man's alleged voyeurism came to light.

The woman saw that her WhatsApp account was logged into an unknown laptop. She logged out of it and realised that she was being spied on.

Deputy commissioner of police (east) Apoorva Gupta told PTI, "After being advised to check her linked devices, she discovered that her WhatsApp account was logged into an unknown laptop and she promptly logged out of it."

The woman discovered the hidden camera in the bulb holder of the bathroom. She called the police on Monday who later found the camera in her bedroom.

After the woman told the police that she handed over keys to Karan, they interrogated Karan.

Karan admitted that three months ago, when she left for her hometown in Uttar Pradesh, he installed the cameras.

He told the police that he bought spy cameras available in the electronics market and installed one in her bedroom and other other in bathroom. Karan used to request the woman to give him the keys under the pretext of repairing electrical fixtures and fans as he wanted to transfer the recorded videos from the memory card to his laptop, said the police.

Another spy camera has been recovered from Karan's possession. They found two laptops which were used to store the recorded videos.
