Hidden Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras were found in a private school’s female washrooms in Karachi, reports Geo News.
Videos of women were being made with the hidden cameras, officials from the Sindh Education Department confirmed.
The Education Department issued a notification according to which the cameras were secretly installed in the female washroom as well as the men’s washroom used by both teachers and students.
However, the school administration has maintained that the cameras were installed in the washrooms for “monitoring purposes”.
According to the Sindh Educational Department, “Hidden CCTV cameras were installed behind a sheet with holes in the area of the washbasins situated with the toilets of girls and boys/washrooms, so that one can easily watch the movements of male and female students and staff,” as per Dawn.
An inquiry committee of the inspection directorate later in the day served a notice to the school administration, asking its principal or a senior official to appear before the department on November 4.
However, no official from the school turned up in disregard of the orders.
After that, the Sindh Education Department on Friday suspended the registration of the said private school and asked its administration to furnish a show-cause notice.
According to the notice, the registration of the school will remain suspended until the completion of the investigation.
