Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and when it comes to payback, no one does it better than a furious wife. Well, this is what this woman from Pune tried to do, but later found herself in great soup for breaching someone’s privacy.
A Pune woman suspecting her husband of infidelity went on to another level to catch him red-handed. Reportedly, the couple was going through a divorce. Hence to prove that he had an illicit affair with someone, the wife placed a spy camera in his bedroom. But she found herself in trouble when the husband’s alleged girlfriend filed a suit against her for violating her privacy.
Senior Inspector (Crime) Ajay Bhosale investigating the case said:
“The couple is going through a divorce since 2016. The wife suspected her husband having an illicit relationship with a woman and based on which she had placed a spy camera in the bungalow owned by them in Rakshak society in Pimple Nilakh due to which she has been booked as she recorded several videos of the woman getting intimate with her husband thus violating her privacy.”
The bizarre incident made headline when the 33-year-old woman lodged an FIR against a noted lawyer, his client (the husband’s wife) and an unidentified person.
The cop further added that the wife was trying to blackmail the husband for getting a huge payout.
“The wife’s lawyer, Abhijit Sarwate showed the video to the girlfriend and threatened her stating that he would post the video on social media if a huge ransom was not paid. It seems the wife also blackmail her husband demanding alimony and divorce.”
“On Monday, the victim approached the police and based on her complaint, a case was lodged. We are probing the case and soon we shall arrest the lawyer and two others involved in the crime. When contacted lawyer Abhijit Sarwate, he claimed that “the accusations imposed on him are baseless and he has been falsely implicated in the case.”
The three of them have been reportedly booked under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act for voyeurism, criminal intimidation by an anonymous communication and Concealing design to commit the offence.
