DK Shivakumar, Karnataka’s Congress leader, alleges that an industrialist who visited him was wearing Meta smart glasses, which he says made him suspect an attempt to record his conversation. NDTV reports that he raised the issue as a “sting op” concern after noticing the glasses and links it to political discussion during the meeting.
Across outlets, the core claim is consistent: Shivakumar believes the incident involved surveillance technology and that it prompted him to seek follow-up action. NDTV also states he ordered an inquiry and names Kerala CM V.D. Satheesan in the context of the dispute, while India Today frames the matter as an “explosive” allegation about the attempted sting operation using the same type of device.
While the details described in the provided summaries are limited, the reporting broadly centers on Shivakumar’s suspicion, the alleged use of Meta smart glasses, and the decision to pursue an inquiry. Different outlets emphasize the allegation’s shock value or the administrative response rather than presenting new, verifiable specifics.
