Noida school director arrested for installing spy camera in washroom
Navnish Sahay, the director of a play school called Learn with Fun in Noida's Sector 70, has been arrested for allegedly installing a spy camera in the teachers' washroom. The device was found on December 10 by a teacher who noticed an unusual faint light coming from a bulb socket. On closer inspection, she realized it was a hidden camera and immediately alerted the school's security guard.

The security guard confirmed the presence of the device, following which the teacher reported the incident to Sahay and school coordinator Parul. Both denied any involvement in the matter. Subsequently, Noida Central Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Shakti Mohan Awasthi initiated an investigation. The probe revealed the spy camera was operational and could live-stream footage to Sahay's computer and mobile phone without recording it.

During the investigation, Sahay admitted purchasing a spy camera online for ₹22,000, designed to be concealed in a bulb holder.

The school's security guard claimed Sahay installed the camera, while police are probing if the guard was also involved.
