In a disturbing invasion of privacy that has shocked Hyderabad residents, a 45-year-old landlord was arrested by Cyberabad police for allegedly installing a hidden camera in his female tenant's private washroom. The incident came to light when the vigilant woman noticed suspicious activity and decided to investigate.
The accused, identified as Kethiri Anjaiah, reportedly concealed the recording device in the exhaust fan of the bathroom used exclusively by his 28-year-old tenant. The woman became suspicious when she noticed unusual blinking lights and decided to examine the area more closely.
How the Shocking Discovery Unfolded
According to police reports, the tenant had been living in the property for approximately two months when she began noticing strange occurrences. "The victim observed a blinking light near the exhaust fan area, which raised her suspicions," explained a police official involved in the case.
When the woman investigated further, she made the horrifying discovery of a carefully concealed camera. She immediately alerted the Raidurgam police, who swiftly responded to the complaint and launched an investigation.
Police Action and Legal Consequences
Law enforcement officials acted promptly upon receiving the complaint. "Based on the woman's complaint, we registered a case and arrested the landlord," confirmed a senior police officer from Cyberabad police commissionerate.
The accused now faces serious charges under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act. If convicted, he could face significant prison time for this gross violation of privacy.
Growing Concerns About Privacy Safety
This incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and privacy of tenants, particularly women living alone in rented accommodations. Cybersecurity experts recommend that tenants:
- Regularly inspect their living spaces for unusual devices
- Be aware of unexpected blinking lights or unfamiliar objects
- Trust their instincts when something feels wrong
- Immediately report suspicious findings to authorities
The case serves as a stark reminder about the importance of privacy awareness and the need for thorough background checks when choosing rental accommodation. Police have urged anyone with similar concerns to come forward immediately.
