Kanpur: As many as three people have been so far arrested in the case related to the girls' obscene videos taken in a hostel here. This arrest has taken place a day after the hostel staffer was caught filming them showering.
The staffer, who allegedly made videos of several girl students, was arrested on September 29 and the police have recovered evidence from the seized phone of the accused.
We have evidence of videos on the phone as per primary investigation, said Anand Prakash Tiwari, joint commissioner here.
