: The manager of an OYO hotel was arrested by RGIA police on Wednesday for allegedly installing a spy camera in one of the hotel’s rooms in Shamshabad within the RGIA police station limits. According to RGIA circle inspector (CI) K. Balaraju, the accused has been identified as Vasi Ganesh, a native of Andhra Pradesh, who often called women to his hotel from websites offering adult partners.
“He is the owner of the hotel too. He installed a camera in one of the rooms. Working on a tip-off and on checking, we found that it was true.
We have recovered two mobile phones from his possession,” the CI said. Speaking of Ganesh’s modus operandi, the CI said, “In his hotel on the Bengaluru-Hyderabad national highway, he would offer rooms to unmarried couples. While making them fill a form in the name of procedures, he would note their numbers down.
He would then call them up and threaten them of publicising the videos to extort money from them.” Although the officer denied claims of a complaint being registered by a couple, sources said that police swung into action after a complaint was registered by a victim couple. A case was registered under section 75 and 77 of the BNS.
However, the rise in crimes related to spy cameras has left many couples and even individuals bothered. Single women are the most likely targets. On August 21, a case about an Indian doctor capturing thousands of nude images and videos of several women and children in the US came to light.
The doctor ha.
