On a day when four Fabindia employees got bail after being arrested on Friday over Union Human Resource Minister Smriti Irani’s complaint that a camera was filming the changing room in a Goa store, a salesman at a store of the brand in Kolhapur district of Maharashtra was arrested on Saturday.
The conditional bail was granted as the Goa court rejected the police’s application for custodial interrogation of the four. The manager of the store, who is not traceable, moved court for anticipatory bail.
The Fabindia store in upmarket Candolim in North Goa was on Friday booked under Sections 354 C (voyeurism) and 509 (insulting the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code and other sections of the Information Technology Act.
In the Kolhapur case, Prakash Ispurle was arrested on Saturday for secretly filming a girl changing clothes on Tuesday. She spotted a cellphone camera on the mirror and lodged a complaint with the police.
