The incident came to light when a young woman, part of a family from Thirumayam in Pudukkottai district visiting the Rameswaram temple, discovered the camera while changing clothes.
According to a Daily Thanthi report, the 10-member family visited the Agni Theertham for a ritual bath and then proceeded to change clothes at a nearby tea shop.
After noticing the hidden camera in the changing room, the woman immediately informed her father, who filed a complaint with the Rameswaram police.
Following the complaint, police arrested the two accused, Rajesh Kannan (34), a resident of Rameswaram Thampian Kottai, and Meeran Maideen (38), a railway worker from Railway Pudur Road.
