Sishir and Monica Gamang had remarried a year ago.
Sishir Gamang, son of former Odisha Chief Minister Giridhar Gamang, today charged his wife with harassment, torture of their minor son and an extramarital affair.
Sishir Gamang has lodged a complaint with the commissionerate police in Bhubaneswar against his wife Monica Gamang for physically and mentally harassing him and their son.
"My wife has mentally and physically tortured our 10-year-old son. Besides, she has an extramarital affair with someone named Gaurav Barar. Monica had married Gaurav without my knowledge,"
Sishir Gamang claimed.
He alleged that his wife has fled with Rs 5 lakh in cash and ornaments worth Rs 2.3 crore.
Sishir and Monica Gamang have been married since 2003. However, they got a divorce in 2012 without informing their families. They, then, remarried in 2014 following the intervention of their family members.
"After my father lost in 2014 general elections, she started torturing us," Sishir Gamang alleged.
Giridhar Gamang lost the election from Koraput parliamentary constituency to a BJD candidate in 2014.
Sishir Gamang said that he came to know about his wife's extramarital affair a year after their remarriage.
"The torture of my son started from the age of 9. Monica's behaviour suddenly changed after remarriage but I came to know the truth much later," he said.
When contacted, Monica Gamang refuted all the allegations.
"Whatever I have to say I will tell the court. I got married after getting a divorce from Sishir. I have never tortured my son," Monica Gamang claimed during a television interview.
