Bengaluru Infosys techie arrested for secretly filming female colleagues in washroom
The Electronics City police on Wednesday (July 2, 2025) arrested a 30-year-old software engineer for allegedly filming his female colleagues in the Infosys campus washroom on Monday (June 30). Based on the complaint filed by the victim, the police arrested Swapnil Nagesh, a technical analyst, charging him under section 66e (violation of privacy through the capturing, publishing, or transmitting of images of a private area of a person without their consent) and Section 77 (offense of voyeurism) for further investigation. The incident came to light when the victim, working as a technical test lead at Infosys, went to use the washroom on June 30, 2025. While waiting to use the washroom, she saw a girl coming out of a cubicle and caught a man's reflection in the mirror, filming from the adjacent washroom. She climbed up the commode and allegedly caught him red-handed trying to record her too on his mobile phone. She raised alarm and ran out of the washroom, prompting the staff to come to her rescue. The HR staff caught the man and deleted the videos. The victim went home and narrated her ordeal to her family before approaching the police. Based on the complaint, the police tracked down Swapnil. The accused, according to the police, joined the company three months ago. He had recorded two videos, which the police retrieved from the 'Deleted' folder. The mobile has been sent to FSL for a detailed analysis, a police officer said. This incident has raised serious concerns about workplace safety and privacy, prompting calls for stricter monitoring and enforcement within corporate campuses. Infosys issues statement Following the arrest, Infosys released a statement assuring a zero-tolerance policy and extending full support to the investigation. 'We are aware of this incident and have taken necessary action against the employee, who is now separated from the Company. We also promptly supported the complainant by facilitating a swift complaint with the law enforcement authorities and continue to cooperate as they investigate further. Infosys is committed to providing an environment free of harassment and has a zero-tolerance policy. We take every complaint related to any violation of the Company's Code of Conduct seriously,' the IT firm's spokesperson said.

iolite Files Formal Complaint with Securities Regulatory Authority and Calls for the Immediate Resignation of Chairman Pierre Lépine and CEO & President Jean Martineau
FREIENBACH, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iolite Partners Ltd. ('iolite'), the largest shareholder of Dynacor Group Inc. (TSX: DNG, 'Dynacor'), announces that it has filed a formal complaint with the Quebec Autorité des marches financiers regarding potential disclosure violations by Dynacor. The complaint cites potential disclosure failures including in the lead-up to Dynacor's June 17, 2025 annual general meeting ('AGM') and in subsequent communications. Despite significant use of company resources to secure votes, the narrow margins in the Chairman's (60.98%) and CEO's (73.77%) re-election demonstrate the absence of any true mandate or vote of confidence in Dynacor's leadership. The full complaint calls for investigation into potential: Undisclosed loss of key talent and resulting risks. Large-scale dismissals and forced resignations of longstanding personnel in Peru — without reason, notice, and severance — followed by the hiring of unqualified individuals at inappropriate pay levels, exposing the Company to serious operational, legal, and financial risks. Failure to disclose the material deterioration of Veta Dorada — the subsidiary that generates 100% of the Company's revenue — misleading investors about the true state of the business. Issues regarding the credibility of Dynacor's international expansion narrative given the obvious deterioration of the core business and loss of key talent, used to justify both a contested capital increase in January 2025 and the re-election of directors at the AGM. Failure to revise guidance despite clear evidence of operational decline. iolite has filed this complaint in good faith, in the interest of all shareholders, to accelerate long-overdue leadership change at Dynacor and to ensure transparency and proper disclosure. The scope and severity of management's failures leave no credible reason for Messrs. Lépine and Martineau to remain in office; their continued presence exposes the Company to unacceptable operational, financial, and reputational risk. At the June 17, 2025 AGM – and again in a June 19, 2025 press release – management celebrated past achievements, touted international expansion, and reaffirmed optimistic guidance even as key operating metrics seem to have deteriorated. Barely a week later, on June 27, the Company issued a self-contradictory release announcing a 'restructuring in Peru,' allegedly triggered by 'employee practices contrary to the Corporation's values and Code of Conduct,' yet presented as part of a global growth plan requiring more head-office hiring. Management hired an external firm to review the evidently serious matter, but offered no explanation of what went wrong or why a review was necessary, leaving investors completely in the dark. iolite remains convinced Dynacor has real potential and is undervalued: it is a leading niche player in an attractive market, with nearly half its market cap in cash and positive free cash flow through Q1 2025. But the status quo is untenable. Dynacor urgently needs competent, decisive leadership of unimpeachable integrity – leadership capable of restoring trust, stabilizing operations, and unlocking the Company's full value for every shareholder. To those who understand the issues, the solution is obvious. iolite stands ready to help.
