BENGALURU: A 38-year-old man has approached the Nelamangala Town police seeking help to bring his wife back, who married a man she met on social media just a week ago.
The woman, who had been married to the complainant, Ramesh, for 12 years, is the mother of an 11-year-old boy. The couple had marital disputes, and she had earlier filed a police complaint against her husband, accusing him of domestic violence.
Ramesh came to know about his wife’s second marriage after she posted her wedding video on social media. He also accused her of taking away all the valuables, including property documents worth Rs 50 lakh.
Ramesh, a resident of Raghavendranagar in Jakkasandra, has filed a complaint against his wife, Nethravathi. Since she had gone incommunicado for nearly a week, Ramesh initially thought that she had gone to her parents’ house. Upon learning she hadn’t, he filed a missing person complaint.
Nethravathi is suspected to have eloped with a man named Santosh, whom she met through Instagram. Following their wedding, Nethravathi sought police assistance to retrieve her clothes and other belongings from her former residence. When she went to Ramesh’s house with Santosh, her relatives allegedly warned her of the consequences.
Ramesh has now filed a formal complaint against his wife at the Nelamangala Town police station.
Ramesh alleged that his wife had cheated on him despite him taking good care of her. “To marry again, my wife filed a false domestic violence complaint against me. She also took away all the valuables from the house,” he claimed.
Meanwhile, Nethravathi has refused to return to her first husband, accusing him of physically abusing her under the influence of alcohol.
