Goa changing-room camera controversy
In April 2015, a camera was allegedly discovered near a changing room at Fabindia's Candolim outlet in Goa. A complaint and police investigation followed. A local court later criticized the arrest of four employees, stating that the police had not adequately justified the interference with their personal liberty. Several Fabindia executives and managers subsequently sought anticipatory bail.
