In Delhi, a girl preparing to take the civil services exam would hand over the keys to her apartment to her landlord’s son when he went to her house. He had done this many times. About three months ago, the landlord’s son took advantage of this and installed two spy cameras in light bulb holders in the girls’ room and bathroom. When the girl suspected something was going on, she informed the police. The police have arrested the son of the accused landlord.
The UPSC applicant got suspicious while checking WhatsApp. From there he knew that his WhatsApp account was open on other desktop or laptop computers. After that, he suspected something fishy, searched his room and bathroom, and found a spy camera in a light bulb holder in the bathroom. He informed the police about the incident.
What did Delhi Police reveal?
East Delhi DCP Apoorva Gupta said that some time ago, a woman saw a spy camera on a light bulb holder in the bathroom of her apartment and called the police. When police arrived at the apartment to investigate, in addition to the bathroom, they found a spy camera in a light bulb holder in the bedroom. When the police asked the student who else had access to the house besides her, the student told her that whenever she went out, she would give the keys to the apartment to the landlord’s son, Karan, because she trusted Karan.
A spy camera and two laptops were recovered from the accused
When Delhi Police interrogated and investigated Karan, they found a spy camera belonging to him and two laptops where he had stored the recorded videos. In fact, the spy camera Karan installed in the student’s house was not connected to the remote control or the network, so Karan would try to get the keys to the apartment from the girl under some pretext so that he could transfer the data present in the chip.
Accused Karan is disabled
Delhi Police found conclusive evidence against Karan and subsequently registered a case against him and he was arrested. According to the police, the accused Karan is disabled. I have been preparing for UPSC for the past seven years but failed. Delhi Police has advised schoolgirls and women living alone in rented apartments in Delhi to be cautious and vigilant and not to be overly trusting of strangers or anyone.
