VADODARA: An auto garage owner living in Yakutpura was left shocked after his second wife dumped him for her previous husband and also took with her cash and ornaments worth Rs 2.6 lakh.

Mohammed Shakil Mansuri, who lives near Adaniyapul in Yakutpura, lodged a complaint of cheating against his second wife Iram and her previous husband Salman Shahbuddin at City police station on Wednesday.

According to Mansuri, Iram was not found in the house on February 6 so he checked in the neighbourhood. One of the neighbours told him that he had seen Iram going with a man in the car early in the morning.

Mansuri called her, but her phone was switched off so he suspected that she must have fled with Shahbuddin as she was in touch with him even after the marriage in November last year. On coming back home, Mansuri found out that she had also taken along Rs 1.2 lakh cash and ornaments worth Rs 1.4 lakh with her.

Later, Mansuri went to Shahbuddin’s home at Indore to convince her and bring her back to Vadodara. However, she refused to come with him as she was still fond of Shahbuddin. Mansuri waited for a month as even Iram’s parents tried to talk to her, but when she kept refusing to come to Vadodara, Mansuri approached police.

Cops said that Mansuri married Iram in November as he was not able to have kids from his first wife. “Iram is complainant’s sister-in-law’s daughter and as everyone in the family were fine with the alliance Mansuri and Iram got married at his home in Vadodara,” said a police official.
