<p>A hidden mobile camera was found inside a women’s toilet on Mangalore University campus. Though the camera was found on August 24, a case was registered in the Konaje police station only on Thursday after the news went viral on social media.<br /><br /></p>.<p>According to sources, a girl student noticed the hidden camera in the roof of the toilet on August 24. She immediately informed Bioscience Department faculty Dr Tharavathy N C, who in turn brought the matter to the notice of Vice Chancellor Prof K Byrappa. The VC asked Registrar Lokesh K M to look into the matter. <br /><br />Prof Lokesh had referred the matter to ‘Sparsh,’ a committee in the university that looks into issues related to girl students. The committee headed by Dr Musteri Begaum had reportedly submitted a report to the VC’s office on August 28. However, the VC had been to Delhi to attend a meeting on August 28. By the time he returned on August 31, the news had spread.<br /><br />As the camera phone was ‘on’ when it was noticed by the student, it is suspected that the person might have placed it there just a few hours ago. It is also said that the phone was concealed in a paper and was painted so that it is not easily noticed. <br /><br />When contacted, the Konaje Police Inspector Ashok said the university filed a complaint on Thursday night.
