As the First Information Report (FIR) reveals, the woman claimed to have noticed Nagesh shooting her in the washroom when she was taking a bath because he had taken a washroom cubicle adjacent to her. She got scared and raised a hue and cry and other employees came to the rescue. When his cell phone was retrieved, it had apparently a number of video clips that were later erased in the presence of the Human Resources people, NDTV reported.

In an internal investigation, it was declared that the accused had shot more than 30 explicit videos of various women in the washroom of the office, which were discovered on his mobile phone. This revelation led to another wave of anger especially when the husband of the victim was informed about the incidence and he raised his voice with the management of the company.

After this the woman filed an official complaint in the police station at the Electronic City. Swapnil was arrested on the basis of what she said and the evidence that was gathered. He is now charged with some serious charges of invading privacy and sexual harassment.
