It appears that perverts use all kinds of tricks just to film up a woman's skirt nowadays
A man in Kedah must have thought he came up with a brilliant idea when he decided to use a small digital device hidden in his shoes to secretly film up a woman's skirt.
It is learnt that the digital device could record video and was directly connected to his iPhone 6.
The incident happened at Pasar Tani Giant, Jalan Langgar in Alor Setar when the victim was buying kuih at one of the stalls on 8 April at about 9.30am.
However, the people around him were extremely observant and they quickly noticed that the man was up to no good
It was reported that his lewd behaviour was spotted by the people in the market although the victim had no clue what was going on.
"The victim was unaware of the suspect’s immoral act as he put his foot underneath the victim's skirt near a stall until she was notified by the public," Kota Setar district police chief ACP Mohd Rozi Jidin was quoted as saying by Bernama.
The furious passers-by were quick to apprehend the 39-year-old suspect, unnamed in reports, and gave him a "severe beating".
The public's intervention led to the arrest of the suspect
The suspect was handed over to the police by the public, while the victim, who reportedly lived in Jitra, lodged a police report on the incident.
It was revealed that the suspect works as an operations assistant and will be detained until 14 April.
The police said that the man is being investigated under Section 294 of the Penal Code for obscenity and 509 of the Penal Code for insulting modesty.
If found guilty, he could face up to five years in jail, or a fine, or both.
