Ashish Sharma, who is a corporate lawyer by profession, was held from DLF Mall, Saket after a shop manager reported his suspicious activity to security guards deployed at the upscale shopping place.
According to reports, Sharma, a resident of Faridabad was roaming inside a cloth store on Saturday evening when the shop manager noticed his unusual behavior. He was standing near a girl, who was wearing a skirt, with his right foot awkwardly close to her.
When the store manager questioned Sharma's behavior he tried to get away. The manager raised an alarm prompting the security guards to chase the man. Despite trying his best to dodge the securitymen, Sharma, 32, was nabbed and taken to the security room. During frisking, Sharma revealed that he has a camera installed in his shoes through which he used to sneak under the clothes of women shopping at the mall.
