Bengaluru Infosys techie arrested for filming female colleagues in washroom

The Bengaluru police said he had recorded two videos, and have sent his mobile phone to FSL for a details analysis.

The Electronics City police on Wednesday (July 2, 2025) arrested a 30-year-old software engineer for allegedly filming his female colleagues in the Infosys campus washroom on Monday (June 30).

Based on the complaint filed by the victim, the police arrested Swapnil Nagesh, a technical analyst, charging him under section 66e (violation of privacy through the capturing, publishing, or transmitting of images of a private area of a person without their consent) and Section 77 (offense of voyeurism) for further investigation.

The incident came to light when the victim, working as a technical test lead at Infosys, went to use the washroom on June 30, 2025. While waiting to use the washroom, she saw a girl coming out of a cubicle and caught a man’s reflection in the mirror, filming from the adjacent washroom.

She climbed up the commode and allegedly caught him red-handed trying to record her too on his mobile phone. She raised alarm and ran out of the washroom, prompting the staff to come to her rescue.

The HR staff caught the man and deleted the videos. The victim went home and narrated her ordeal to her family before approaching the police.

Based on the complaint, the police tracked down Swapnil. The accused, according to the police, joined the company three months ago. He had recorded two videos, which the police retrieved from the ‘Deleted’ folder. The mobile has been sent to FSL for a detailed analysis, a police officer said.

This incident has raised serious concerns about workplace safety and privacy, prompting calls for stricter monitoring and enforcement within corporate campuses.
