CHENNAI: In a shocking case, a Phd student at the IIT-Madras was allegedly caught red-handed while trying to place his mobile phone secretly inside the women’s restroom in the campus, on Wednesday evening.
Police sources identified the culprit as Subham Bannerji, a Phd student and project employee of the aerospace engineering department.
The issue came to light when a 30-year-old PhD student went to the restroom. She noticed the mobile placed near the window facing her.
