Bengaluru Shocker: Woman Finds Phone Camera Recording Her in 'Third Wave' Washroom

Bengaluru: In a shocking incident, a mobile phone was found in the women's washroom recording video for approximately two hours inside a dustbin in a well-known coffee ‘Third Wave’ outlet in Bengaluru. 

An Instagram handle 'Gangs Of Cinepur' posted a story where an eyewitness said, "While at the Third Wave Coffee outlet in Bengaluru, a woman discovered a phone hidden in the restroom's dustbin, recording video for approximately two hours aimed at the toilet seat. The phone was set to flight mode to remain silent."

"The phone was carefully hidden in the dustbin bag and had a hole made in it so that only the camera was exposed. It was quickly found that the phone belonged to one of the men working there. The police were called, and they arrived soon enough, and action is being taken, the post continues.

"This was so horrific to witness. I will be vigilant at any washroom I use from now on, no matter how well-known the chain of cafes or restaurants is. I request all of you to do the same. This is disgusting," it added.
