In a shocking incident in Pimpri-Chinchwad, a tailor has been arrested for voyeurism following the discovery of a hidden mobile phone in the trial room of his shop in the Chikhali area. The incident came to light when a 19-year-old girl found the phone secretly recording her while she was changing her clothes.
The accused, identified as 22-year-old Abhishekh Patil, was promptly apprehended by the Chikhali police after the girl lodged a complaint. According to the victim's statement, she had visited the shop and entered the trial room to try on a blouse.
