Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer District), Vikramjeet Singh said the accused was identified as Sandeep Sharma. He said action was taken after the police received a complaint from the hospital administration. “Sharma, who hails from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh, is also being questioned to ascertain whether he put the camera at other places as well.
