An outsider named Riaz Ahmed was detained at Jahangirnagar University’s Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) early Monday night after being caught secretly recording female students in the washroom. Students handed him over to police after discovering multiple videos on his phone allegedly taken over the past six months. The incident occurred around 2 a.m. while students were watching a World Cup football match between Brazil and Japan at the Selim Al Deen open stage.

According to witnesses, a female student noticed a man entering and quickly leaving the women’s washroom, prompting others to confront him. Upon checking his phone, they found videos recorded through a small hole in the washroom door. Students claimed about 140 such videos were discovered. The accused denied wrongdoing, saying a friend had used his phone, but later admitted to filming on previous visits.

University Proctor Professor A.K.M. Rashidul Alam called the act disgraceful and confirmed that a case would be filed. Ashulia police inspector Md. Azgar Hossain said a written complaint had been received and legal action would follow.
