Thane, August 16

The Navi Mumbai police have registered a case against a man for allegedly filming a woman while she was taking a bath, an official said on Friday.

Accused Varprasad Ratnaraj Katikadla, who lives in Morbe in Panvel taluka, allegedly committed the crime on August 7 but the woman learnt about it only on Thursday. She then filed a police complaint, he said.

According to the FIR, the accused climbed through a duct and took a video of the woman bathing in her second-floor home.

Katikadla has been booked under Section 77 (voyeurism) of the Bharatiya Nayaya Sanhita, said the station house officer of the Panvel taluka police station.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
