Peeping Tom held for harassing neighbour

Vadodara: A 27-year-old man was arrested on Sunday for indulging in voyeurism.
The accused Rahul Parmar was nabbed after a 36-year-old woman living in his neighbourhood at Dabhoi Road called 181 Abhayam Helpline and then approached police.
The woman alleged that Parmar used to peep inside her bathroom through the window whenever she used to go for taking bath. Around 10 days back, the woman’s sister-in-law who also lives in the same neighbourhood, had noticed Parmar peeping inside the bathroom from the terrace of the building and she had warned her. A day later, the sister-in-law took a video using her phone when Parmar was again peeping.
When the woman confronted Parmar, he said that he used to go to the terrace while brushing his teeth and has never peeped inside the bathroom. The woman told police that for few days Parmar stopped coming to the terrace, but on June 5 again he started peeping inside the bathroom which she noticed on Saturday too. On Sunday morning, when the woman noticed from inside the bathroom that Parmar was peeping, she called 181 Abhayam Helpline. However, when the counsellors told her that they can only counsel Parmar and cannot take any legal action against him, the woman went to Wadi police station and lodged an offence against Parmar.
“Based on the complaint, we have arrested the accused and interrogating him,” said a police official.
