NEW DELHI: A 25-year-old man, identified as Anoop Kumar, was arrested for allegedly filming a minor girl while she was bathing in the Kapashera area of Delhi, according to police reports on Monday.
Kumar, who hails from Uttar Pradesh's Sitapur district, was employed as a gardener at a farmhouse located in southwest Delhi.
Deputy commissioner of Police (southwest) Rohit Meena stated that the 15-year-old girl filed a complaint claiming that on July 7, while she was taking a bath at her residence in Salapur Kheda, southwest Delhi, she sensed someone's presence at the vent.
When the girl raised an alarm, Kumar attempted to escape but was apprehended by the minor's family members and some neighbours. The Kapasehra Police Station dispatched a team to the location and arrested the suspect, as per the DCP.
"When his mobile phone was checked, some objectionable videos were found," Meena said.
The accused was charged under Section 77 (watching, capturing, or disseminating private images of a woman without her consent) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and Section 12 of the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act, according to the police.
