HYDERABAD: A housewife lodged a complaint at Saidabad police station, accusing her husband of distancing himself from her and suspected him of having relationship with other men.

Based on the complaint by Deepika , a former assistant professor, on Saturday, Saidabad police registered a case against her husband, Ankush, under sections 498A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 420 (cheating) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC.

Deepika said that she had married Anuksh three-and-half years ago. Since then, she alleged, that her husband had been avoiding her and never gave a proper reason when asked about his behaviour.

According to her, initially she suspected that Ankush might be having an extra-marital affair.

"Ankush used to chat for long hours with guys till late at night. From his status messages, I found that he was attracted to men. Later, I got a video that only strengthened my suspicion. Ankush used to beat me whenever I questioned him about his attitude and behaviour," Deepika said.
