New Delhi: A ‘watch’ without a dial worn by a representative of Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd (STPL), accused in the 2G spectrum allocation scam case, caught the attention of the Special Judge holding the trial today, arousing suspicion about the device.
The incident took place in the court when the guard present in the courtroom spotted it and asked the person wearing it about the device. When the matter was reported to Special CBI Judge O P Saini, he wondered how was it a watch as it was not showing time and had no dial or display. “This does not appear to be a watch,” the judge asked. After seeing the watch, the court said, “could anyone (present in the courtroom) enlighten us about this device.” One of the lawyers inspected it and said he could not say whether it was a watch or any other device. Pankaj Pandey, STPL’s authorised representative who was wearing the instrument, told the court it was a “fancy watch” which he had bought online.
