Mumbai:
Two days after a woman found a hidden camera installed in the ladies restroom at a McDonald's franchise in Thane, the absconding employee - 26-year-old Sachin Waghmare has got bail from a Thane court.
A Thane couple had on Saturday alerted the management who opened the vent and found a mobile phone with its recording button switched on.
"My wife wanted to visit the loo before we left, but the housekeeping staff asked her to wait while they cleaned the toilet. However, when she went in, the toilet was still unclean. That made her suspicious and she began to look around. She then saw a light blinking in the vent above," said Yogdeep Korpade.

But the accused managed to escape from there, as he received news of the police coming to arrest him. In a turn of events, he hired a lawyer and applied for bail and the court granted him bail.
In an attempt to still nab him, the police have now decided to move the higher court against the bail, said a police official.
