Spycam found in Tata Electronics women's hostel bathroom in Hosur, two held
Police arrest a woman and her partner after a spycam was found in the bathroom of Tata Electronics’ women’s hostel in Hosur, triggering protests and demands for stricter safety checks.
A woman and her boyfriend have been arrested after a covert camera was found hidden in the bathroom of Tata Electronics' women’s hostel in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. Police said the device was planted to capture intimate moments without consent and are investigating the extent of the surveillance.
The discovery triggered anger among workers. Late Tuesday evening, hundreds of women workers staged a sit-in outside Vidiyal Residency, demanding that all bathrooms be searched for cameras and calling for tighter safety checks at the facility.
Authorities said they recovered the camera and are examining footage to determine whether there were other devices and who else might be involved. The suspects were arrested on charges related to invasion of privacy and illegal recording.
Labor representatives and activist groups have urged Tata Electronics to review security protocols, provide support to affected workers, and ensure strict action if wrongdoing is found. The case shines a light on privacy rights in industrial workplaces and the need for robust checks in dormitories and hostels.
While investigations continue, the incident has sparked a broader debate about surveillance, consent, and the protections in place for women workers in the region.
