Enraged over the incident, villagers tonsured the accused, Bijay Kumar Panda (25) before handing him over to police yesterday.
"We have seized the cell phone of the accused, through which he captured the photographs of the girl student at a picnic some months ago", said Inspector-in-charge, Dharakote police station, Biswaranjan Nayak.
