Rohit Kadam, a television journalist, has been named in a First Information Report (FIR) at Vishrambaug police station in Pune, India, for allegedly filming a woman without her consent at Ajay Lodge in Budhwar Peth on April 8. The FIR accuses Kadam and three unnamed associates of conspiring to record a video of the woman changing clothes, claiming it was part of a sting operation. The woman raised an alarm upon realizing she was being filmed and subsequently reported the incident to the police. The FIR cites violations of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including Section 77, which addresses capturing images of individuals in private spaces. Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Rupali Patil Thombare has also filed a complaint, alleging that the incident is part of a conspiracy to defame her, claiming the journalists were paid ₹25 lakh (approximately $30,000 USD) by political rivals to target her. The Pune Union of Working Journalists (PUWJ) condemned the actions of the accused, emphasizing that such behavior tarnishes the image of journalism and undermines the profession's credibility.
