Infosys employee arrested for recording videos in women's washroom at Bengaluru office
The Electronics City police said on Wednesday that they arrested a 30-year-old Infosys employee who allegedly secretly recorded videos of his female colleagues in the office washroom. Swapnil Nagesh from Sangli, Maharashtra, who worked as a technical analyst at the company's Electronics City campus in southeastern Bengaluru, has been charged under section 77 (voyeurism) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and section 66E (violation of privacy) of the Information Technology Act. The incident occurred on Monday, when he was allegedly caught red-handed after recording videos of two women. According to the police, the primary victim discovered the violation around 11 am while using the washroom on the third floor of the IQE wing in building 38. She noticed suspicious reflections in the mirror and sensed movement from the door partition of the adjacent stall. Upon investigation, she allegedly discovered Nagesh standing on a commode in the neighbouring stall with his mobile phone recording. When confronted, Nagesh began apologising but was quickly apprehended by two HR executives who responded to the victim's cries for help. HR personnel found incriminating video evidence on his phone and took screenshots before deleting the video. The police recovered two videos from the device's recycle bin, with forensic analysis underway to determine if additional recordings exist. Investigators revealed that Nagesh had joined the company just three months ago and had recorded another female employee before the incident described in the police complaint, which was lodged on Tuesday. Nagesh was produced before a magistrate following his arrest, with the police continuing their investigation into the full scope of his activities. Infosys said in a statement, 'We are aware of this incident and have taken necessary action against the employee, who is now separated from the Company. We also promptly supported the complainant by facilitating a swift complaint with the law enforcement authorities and continue to cooperate as they investigate further. Infosys is committed to providing an environment free of harassment and has a zero-tolerance policy. We take every complaint related to any violation of the Company's Code of Conduct seriously.'
