The accused allegedly stole the limited edition Hublot watch signed by Maradona when he worked as a security guard for a company that was storing the late football player’s belongings in Dubai. He then purportedly fled to Assam in August this year.
Speaking to India Today, Sivasagar district Superintendent of Police Rakesh Raushan said, “Based on secret information, we had launched an operation last night and apprehended the person from the house of his in-laws. We have also recovered a heritage Hublot watch from his possession. Our investigation is on.”
