Mumbai : An 18-year-old housekeeping staff of a plush lounge in Andheri was taken into custody by the Amboli police on Sunday night after the youth’s mobile — which was in video shoot mode — was found inside the women’s toilet.
The youth’s attempt to film several women was foiled by an alert woman who entered the toilet at around 7:45 pm on Sunday and noticed the mobile phone stuck to the wall under the wash basin with the help of a duct tape. The woman took the mobile and stepped out of the toilet where the youth was standing. Police sources said that when the woman questioned him about the mobile phone, they got into an argument which later turned violent. The youth also assaulted the woman, according to a police source.
“It seems like the youth had been filming women over the past few days. At least 5 to 6 women had been filmed already,” said a friend of the woman, who discovered the phone.
The police were in the process of registering a complaint late Sunday night. “We are in the process of registering an FIR in the matter and are only waiting to record the woman’s statement,” said an official associated with the Amboli police station.
