Students of the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic (DAV) PG college in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, staged a protest outside the principal's office for installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras outside toilets, reported India Today. Reportedly, the decision was taken by the college authorities to catch a toti chor (water tap thief) red-handed. However, the students called out the college management and termed the move an "invasion of privacy."

Responding to the protest, the college authorities told India Today, "The CCTV cameras have been installed for security. However, one of the cameras got directed inside the toilet by mistake." "An order has been issued to remove it and reinstall it at another place," the authorities added.
