Police arrested a 30-year-old accused in East Delhi’s Shakarpur area on Tuesday. He was accused of recording everything from the bedroom to the bathroom of a girl living on rent in his house by installing a hidden camera. The victim was preparing for civil services and was living here for the last few months. Before leaving the city, she had given the keys to the landlord’s son Karan.
The matter came to light when the victim noticed suspicious activity on her WhatsApp. DCP Apurv Gupta said, “She found that her WhatsApp account was logged in on an unknown laptop. She immediately logged out from this device.” She suspected something else and started searching the house. Then she found a hidden camera in the bulb holder of the bathroom. After this, she called PCR on Monday. When the police team searched the house, another camera was found in the bulb holder of the bedroom.
The victim told the police that whenever she went out of town, she would give the keys to Karan who lives on a different floor in the same building. During interrogation, Karan confessed that he committed the crime 3 months ago when the tenant went to her house in UP. Taking advantage of the situation, he bought three spy cameras. He fitted one in the bathroom and the other in the bedroom.
These cameras could not be operated online. The video was stored in a memory card installed in it. The victim said that he would often ask for the keys in the name of getting the room repaired so that he could transfer the videos to his laptop. During the investigation, a third camera and two laptops were also recovered. He used to store the recorded videos in these laptops.
The police have registered a case under relevant sections of the BNS and arrested the accused. Karan is also a graduate and was preparing for competitive exams for the last seven years. According to the police, he has no criminal history.
