Bengaluru Woman Filmed Inside The Toilet Of A Popular Eatery
A Bengaluru-based woman shared a detailed post on social media about the horrifying experience of discovering a phone filming her inside a toilet in a popular Bengaluru eatery. The woman revealed that she had gone to the eatery–Anand Sweets & Savouries–to use the toilet while on her period at her friend’s suggestion. She called it a “well-known and trusted brand”, and she has been visiting since childhood.
However, once inside the toilet, she felt something was wrong. She saw a gap in the wall and decided to check it. “At the first-floor washroom, I noticed the wall in front wasn’t fully made of bricks. Instead, the centre part had fibreglass at the top and wooden strips at the level of the commode. I sensed something was wrong. I tapped the fibreglass and decided to crouch down and look through the wooden strips. That’s when I saw a phone placed on the other side. I saw the phone move. That’s when I realised I was being recorded,” she revealed in the post.
Panicked, she rushed out and called her friend. She checked the phones of employees with the eatery’s manager and called in the police as well. Upon checking the CCTV footage, police found and arrested the employee who was seen exiting the back door. After several hours, the man confessed to filming the woman and claimed that he had deleted the videos. Upon checking the phone, they also found images of other women from the internet alongside his baby’s photos. The woman’s post further revealed that the restaurant employees tried to talk her out of taking any action.

More power to the woman for coming out and speaking about the traumatising experience.
