Bengaluru: State JD(S) president HD Kumaraswamy said he stumbled upon the truth behind chief minister Siddaramaiah 's expensive watch, following a call from physician Sudhakar Shetty -- purportedly the owner of the item -- who wanted to share some details about it with him.Floating the stolen watch theory, Kumaraswamy said he had got information sometime in early February. There was a call around 12.30am, when he was travelling from Bidar to Hyderabad, to campaign for the zilla and taluk panchayat elections."A friend of physician Sudhakar Shetty called me to say the Hublot Siddaramaiah was wearing, belonged to the doctor. The common friend said Shetty wanted to meet me, and I agreed. However, after two busy days of campaigning, when I tried to contact him, Shetty was nowhere to be found. He was pressured into retracting his claim," Kumaraswamy alleged.Furnishing a copy of the complaint filed by Shetty, a resident of Bengaluru and native of Kundapur in Udupi district, the former CM said the complaint was filed on May 7, 2015, and is yet to be "solved" by the Bengaluru police. Reading out the complaint filed with the Cubbon Park police station, Kumaraswamy said it speaks of three suspects -- Ananda Poojari (Shetty's driver), Mahalakshmi (maid) and Yashoda, an acquaintance who visited Shetty's house on March 10, 2015.The former CM said he made some investigations and also spoke to Ananda, who suspected Yashoda, whom he dropped to the bus stand the same evening, to attend a wedding in Mangaluru. However, the driver found Yashoda was in KR Nagar the next day, while the doctor, who is now scared to talk about the incident, has gone into hiding in Kundapur."We tried to coax him to come forward and say the truth, but he refused, saying he doesn't want to invite trouble in his 70th year of life," Kumaraswamy said.Sources in the JD(S) said high-ranking police officers were involved in the case, and had prevailed on Shetty not to come forth with the supposed claim. It is said a former police officer and current DCP-rank officer in Bengaluru city are behind the stolen watch making its way to Siddaramaiah.
