Kochi: <\/b><\/p>\n
A 23-year-old IT professional has been arrested for allegedly entering a women’s washroom wearing a burqa in a popular mall in Kerala and recording their videos on his mobile phone.<\/p>\n
The man, a B.Tech graduate, was booked for the offences under sections 354(C) (Voyeurism) and 419 (Impersonation) of the IPC and Section 66 E of the Information Technology Act on the same day, police said.<\/p>\n
Thereafter, he was produced before a local court which remanded the accused to 14 days in judicial custody, an officer of Kalamassery police station said.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on Wednesday at the Lulu Mall where the accused, who works in a leading IT firm based at the Infopark, wore a ‘burqa’ and entered a women’s washroom and placed his mobile in there, police said.<\/p>\n
He put his phone in a small cardboard box, put a hole in it for the camera to record visuals and stuck it to the door of the washroom, it said.<\/p>\n
After that, the suspect came out from there and stood in front of the main door of the washroom, it said.<\/p>\n
Noting his suspicious and furtive behaviour, the mall’s security personnel informed the police who quickly reached the spot and questioned the accused, the officer said.<\/p>\n
Questioning revealed that he had disguised himself as a woman and that he was recording the scenes in the washroom on his mobile phone, police said.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, the burqa and the mobile phone of the accused were seized and he was taken into custody, it said.<\/p>\n
The officer said police were investigating whether the accused has carried out such acts in the past anywhere else.<\/p>\n
