Vijayawada, Aug 30 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Friday ordered an investigation after an alleged hidden camera was detected in a women’s hostel washroom at an engineering college in Krishna Nagar district, which sparked an outrage.
The Chief Minister ordered District Minister Kollu Ravindra, the District Collector and the Superintendent of Police to visit the college.
Students of the college at Gudlavalleru in the district staged a protest late on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday

It was alleged that videos recorded through hidden cameras were leaked and sold by a few students.
Police rushed to the spot and defused the situation. They picked up a final-year student, Vijay, for questioning. His mobile phone and laptop were seized following allegations that he circulated the videos recorded through the hidden camera.
