Bengaluru: The Rs. 70 lakh expensive Hublot watch that had stopped ticking has started ticking again with the former Deputy Superintendent of Police Anupama Shenoy hurling fresh allegations against Chief Minister Siddharmaiah that the watch was gifted to the CM by Dubai-based NRI B.R. Shetty. It may be recalled that the incident was given a quiet burial when the CM had handed the watch over to Speaker K.B. Koliwad through a declaration. However, Anupama Shenoy has alleged freshly that the CM had taken the watch as bribe in exchange for passing two projects.
In her letter to the Speaker, she has said that the Hublot watch was given to the CM through his Dubai friend Dr. Girish Chandra Varma, a doctor working in Dubai hospital owned by Shetty. Apart from the letter, Anupama has also submitted a few documents and information and urged for investigation.
