BENGALURU: A 43-year-old man who gave his mobile phone to his teenage son to keep him engaged now faces the possibility of his 15-year-old marriage ending. The 14-year-old boy discovered audio recordings of his father’s conversations with his lover on the device and brought the extramarital affair to his mother’s notice.

The 39-year-old woman, Nandini (name changed), a resident of Banashankari III Stage, has approached police seeking action against her husband, whom she has accused of assaulting her.

According to CK Acchukattu police, Nandini works as a schoolteacher and takes tuitions. On July 11, her husband Nagaraju M, said to be the leader of a social organisation, gave his cellphone to his son. The boy, who was playing games, accidentally opened the phone recorder and WhatsApp chat conversations and stumbled upon obscene messages and audios exchanged between his father and another woman. He immediately showed them to his mother.

He assaulted, threatened me: Wife

When Nandini questioned her husband, he allegedly assaulted her. In her complaint, she said Nagaraju threatened her with dire consequences if she told any family member about it.

Police said they are yet to investigate the case as the woman is delaying her appearance in the station. Sources said Nagaraju’s family members are asking her to withdraw the complaint.
