The accused is from Goa Medical College and Hospital and has been booked for trespassing and invasion of privacy, PTI reported.
According to Agassaim police, the incident occurred on May 19 between 9:45 PM and 10:00 PM, when the accused trespassed into the ground floor premises of the girls’ hostel, located in Bambolim near Panaji.
"The accused trespassed into the premises of the girls' hostel building on the ground floor and attempted to observe and record videos using his mobile phone of female students while they were bathing," the official said.
The act of secret filming inside the women’s bathing area has sparked anger and alarm among students and faculty.
