Bengaluru, Aug 11 (IANS): The Bengaluru Police have arrested a staffer of a coffee shop here for allegedly hiding a mobile phone in the dustbin of the women's restroom to record videos.

"This was horrific to witness. I will be vigilant at any washroom I use from now on, no matter how well-known the chain of cafe or restaurant is. And I request all of you to do the same. This is absolutely disgusting," she wrote," the customer added.
Replying to the post, the coffee shop management said that the "safety and well-being of our customers is always our priority. The coffee shop has a stringent zero tolerance policy and the person under question at the BEL Road store has been immediately terminated, with necessary legal action being initiated".

Thankfully, camera was not focused to capture the faces of victims. Else would have blackmailed the victims for ransom.
