Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar recently leveled serious allegations against an unnamed industrialist, claiming the individual attempted to conduct a sting operation against him. According to Shivakumar, the industrialist arrived at a meeting wearing Meta smart glasses, which the Deputy Chief Minister alleges were being used to record their private conversation without his consent or knowledge.

Shivakumar further suggested that this incident is part of a broader pattern of surveillance, explicitly mentioning the Kerala Chief Minister in connection with the use of such technology. The allegations imply that political opponents or influential figures are utilizing wearable tech to gather compromising material or monitor high-level political discussions.

While Shivakumar has made these claims publicly, he has not yet provided specific evidence, such as the identity of the industrialist or the footage allegedly captured. The situation highlights growing concerns among public officials regarding the privacy implications of wearable devices in professional and political settings. As of now, there has been no formal response from the industrialist in question or the Kerala Chief Minister’s office regarding these specific accusations. The lack of corroborating details leaves the timeline and the specific intent behind the alleged recording open to interpretation, as the story currently relies solely on Shivakumar’s account of the interaction.
