Odisha Clerk Arrested for Installing Hidden Camera in Women's Washroom at Government OfficePreviousNext

In Odisha's Jagatsinghpur, a junior clerk named Sanjay Adhekar was arrested for installing a hidden camera in the women's washroom of a government office after his unreciprocated romantic interest in a female colleague. The camera, purchased online in January and installed in March, remained operational for several months. The device fell off on May 25, leading to a complaint and police investigation. Authorities have seized the camera and related electronic devices for forensic analysis, with inquiries ongoing to determine if footage was recorded or shared and if others were involved.
