Infosys Employee Booked for Filming Female Colleague Inside Office Washroom in Bengaluru

Bengaluru, 3rd July 2025: A female employee at the Infosys campus in Electronics City was allegedly filmed by a male colleague while she was inside a women’s washroom, triggering shock and outrage across the corporate community. The incident occurred on June 30, and a formal complaint was lodged with the police on July 1.

The accused, identified as Swapnil Nagesh Mali (30), was arrested by the police on Wednesday and later released on bail. He was working as a senior associate consultant at Infosys Helix, a healthcare technology division of the IT giant.

Victim Confronted Accused After Spotting Reflection
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the 35-year-old victim noticed a reflection on the cubicle door while using the washroom. Suspicious of unusual activity, she stood up to inspect, only to find a man — later identified as Mali — standing on the toilet seat of the adjacent cubicle, filming her using his mobile phone.

Shocked by the discovery, the woman immediately confronted the accused and checked his phone, where she allegedly found the recorded footage. She then alerted the company’s Human Resources (HR) department, which assisted her in approaching law enforcement.

Accused Joined Campus Just 3 Months Ago
Police officials confirmed that Mali, originally from Sangli district in Maharashtra, had moved to Bengaluru just three months ago for his role at Infosys. His mobile phone has been seized as part of the investigation, said DCP (South-East) Sarah Fathima, who is overseeing the case.
