A few hours after mid-day.com broke the story on Tuesday of an Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) student alleging that a canteen worker was peeping inside the hostel bathroom on Sunday night, the Mumbai Police informed that the 22-year-old canteen worker was arrested on Tuesday.

Maheshwar Reddy, DCP, Zone-X, said, "The mobile phone is in possession of the police and no video has been found in it. We have arrested him today and he will be produced in court tomorrow."
