Sacked Bengaluru Infosys techie confesses to filming women in washroom, says derived ‘satisfaction', collected 50 videos
Swapnil Nagesh Mali, a 28-year-old engineer working at Infosys, was arrested in Bengaluru for secretly filming women in a restroom. His actions were exposed when a female employee spotted suspicious activity on Monday. He reportedly confessed to his crime, stating that he had recorded another female employee from the company, according to a report by The Times of India (TOI). The accused reportedly mentioned that he felt a sense of "satisfaction" from watching these videos and had downloaded over 50 such clips on his phone, the report said. The woman who reported the incident in the First Information Report (FIR) said that she saw Nagesh filming her from the next cubicle while using the washroom, panicked, and raised an alarm. Other employees rushed over. His phone was seized and contained several videos, which HR later deleted in the woman's presence, NDTV reported. The accused has recorded more than 30 videos of different women inside the office washroom, which was present on his mobile phone, according to an internal investigation. This sparked further outrage, particularly after the woman's husband learned of the incident and approached the management. The woman also filed a formal complaint at the Electronic City police station. Following her complaint, based on her statement and the collected evidence, Swapnil was arrested. He now faces serious charges, including invasion of privacy and sexual harassment. Infosys issues an official statement confirming that the employee has been terminated. 'We are aware of this incident and have taken necessary action against the employee, who is now separated from the company,' Infosys said.

Locals collect chicken as poultry truck flips on NH-69
Shivamogga: A poultry truck overturned on NH-69 on Wednesday morning, leading to locals from Anandapur-Hosur stretch and nearby Sagar taluk collecting chickens for free from the scene. The heavy rainfall in the Malnad region created visibility challenges, making commuting difficult. The accident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday when a vehicle coming from the opposite direction cut in front of the truck. The truck was transporting 4.5 tonnes of poultry to Sagar when it overturned, dispersing chickens across the road. The accident led to numerous bird casualties, with several others being critically injured. Passing motorists stopped their vehicles to gather the scattered poultry. "The cool monsoon weather is perfect for a chicken feast at home today. We can make many dishes with these," said Bhaskar, a villager, who is a coolie worker from Anandapur. Another villager, Nagesh, who rushed to the spot with a bag, collected a bunch of half-dead chickens and said it was truly a feast for them. The truck operator, Fayaz, told reporters, "A car suddenly cut in front of me at the turn, and I lost control. What is the point of taking away the dead chickens? Let people take them. The accident has caused a loss of Rs 8 lakh," he said. A case was registered at Anandapura police station.
