KARACHI: Officials from the Sindh education department have found hidden cameras installed in the women’s washroom of The Haracks School in Karachi’s Safoora Goth Scheme 33.
According to the officials, several women had lodged a complaint with the education department regarding the cameras. After that, a team of education department officials had visited the school on Wednesday to check.
They found hidden cameras from the washroom during their visit, the officials confirmed. “Hidden CCTV cameras were installed behind a street with holes in the area of the washbasins situated with the toilets of girls and boys washrooms,” a notification issued by the Sindh Directorate of Inspection/Registration of Private Institutions stated.
During the inspection, which was conducted on November 3, a show-cause notice was issued to the school’s management, and the principal was told to appear before the directorate’s office the next day.
When the management refused to respond, the registration of the school was revoked under Section 8 of the Sindh Private Institutions Ordinance, 2001. A vigilance committee has, on the other hand, been formed to probe into the matter.
