Peeping Tom in Hiland Park trial room mall in Kolkata flees the scene

A Peeping Tom fled the scene when a woman who was trying on a garment at the Big Bazaar store in Metropolis Mall caught someone peeping into the trial room through holes in the wall. This has reignited the debate on customer privacy being compromised at retail outlets. When she raised the alarm, the Peeping Tom bolted down the corridors and out of the store before anyone could apprehend him.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 24 June 2016.

The accused has been identified but he authorities have clarified that he was not an employee of the Future Group that owns the Big Bazaar brand but an outsourced staff (member) of the housekeeping agency.
The Big Bazaar store at Metropolis Mall in Hiland Park, located off the Bypass, has two levels. The complainant was in the trial room on the ground floor when she sensed something was wrong and opened the door to find holes on the shared wall with another trial room. She sounded the alarm and the accused came out from the adjacent trial room and ran and left his mobile phone behind while fleeing.
It seems a wall mirror had been removed from its holdings but the holes created by the screws remained. The woman spotted unusual movement through one of these holes and decided to check the next trial room when the matter came to light.
