CHENNAI: In a shocking case, a Phd student at the IIT-Madras was allegedly caught red-handed while trying to place his mobile phone secretly inside the women’s restroom in the campus, on Wednesday evening.

Police sources identified the culprit as Subham Bannerji, a Phd student and project employee of the aerospace engineering department.
