At the SR Gudlavalleru Engineering College in the Krishna region of Andhra Pradesh, tensions are still high following the alleged voyeurism incident involving a concealed camera that was purportedly discovered in the female students’ dormitory restroom. The story has since gone viral.
As per reports, several videos were recorded in the hidden camera and allegedly circulated among students residing in the boys’ hostel, prompting massive protests by residents of the female hostel who demanded immediate action against the perpetrators responsible for the disturbing incident.
Shockingly, allegations were also levelled against a senior female student from the final year of an engineering student who is accused of arranging the hidden camera in the washroom.
Krishna district police have taken a final-year B Tech student into custody and seized his laptop and cell phones. The student was reportedly selling the videos recorded from the hidden camera.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday ordered an inquiry and directed district minister Kollu Ravindra and the SP to talk to the students to ascertain the facts.
Education Minister Nara Lokesh also took to X and warned of stringent action to be taken against culprits and those responsible if found guilty during the investigation. He also urged education managements to take early steps to prevent ragging and harassment in colleges.
With the latest incident reported at the Andhra Pradesh college, it is felt that not just educational institutions but all organizations including workplaces must incorporate strict measures to prevent the heinous act of voyeurism and protect the integrity of individuals at all costs.
