A resident additional collector, a deputy mamlatdar and one more person were booked for allegedly placing a spy camera in the office of the collector of Anand district in Gujarat to trap him and get him to clear some files, a police official said on Saturday.

The case was registered by Anand district police on a complaint from the Gujarat Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) against resident additional collector Ketki Vyas, deputy mamlatdar JD Vyas and one more person, the official said.

The accused had installed a spy camera in the office of DS Gadhvi, who was suspended as Anand district collector on August 9 on charges of ”misconduct and moral turpitude” based on the video captured by the spy camera.

”The accused procured a video showing him in a compromising position with a woman and used the clip for extortion purpose to clear some files,” ATS Superintendent of Police Sunil Joshi said.

The three have been booked under Indian Penal Code sections 389 (putting person in fear of accusation of offence in order to commit extortion), 354 (C) (voyeurism), 66 (E) (to capture, publish or transmit image of private area of a person without his or her consent), and 67 (A) (publish or transmit in the electronic form material containing sexually explicit act) as well as provisions of Information Technology Act, he said.
