The arrestee, Shirajul Islam alias Sajib, told the magistrate that he used to record such videos with a phone, attached to a selfie stick, inserted through the ventilator of the dressing room.

“I recorded a total of eight videos of several female employees including the complainant,” Sajib said in his confessional statement recorded by Metropolitan Magistrate Dhiman Chandra Mondol at his chamber.
