New Delhi: Amid the nationwide stir over the Kolkata rape and murder case, a hidden camera was discovered in the washroom of the girls’ hostel at Gudlavalleru College of Engineering in Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna district.
A group of female students stumbled upon the concealed camera in their washroom yesterday evening, setting off immediate alarm and distress. The discovery led to a chaotic scene as students organised a protest that began around 7 pm and continued till Friday morning, NDTV reported. Videos recorded by the camera were reportedly being circulated within the boys’ hostel, leading to outrage among the students, The Free Press Journal reported.
The accused, identified as Vijay, is a student at the same institution. Authorities have launched a full-scale investigation into the matter, which has led to the seizure of Vijay’s laptop. As students raised slogans of “We want justice” and demanded immediate action, police intervened and took the final-year engineering student into custody, suspected of being involved in the scandal.
According to reports, nearly 300 obscene videos were found during the investigation, suggesting Vijay may have been involved in illicit recording and potentially distributing the footage.
