Bangalore techie divorces husband, dumped by lover

Bangalore: In an instance of love gone wrong, a 32-year-old software engineer left her husband for her boyfriend who later dumped her.

Kirthi, a resident of Sector I in HSR Layout, worked with a renowned IT company in Whitefield. Though she was married, she fell in love with Sri Rangarajan, her colleague, who promised to marry her if she divorced her husband.

Smitten by Rangarajan, Kirthi filed a divorce petition in a family court and started living-in with him at his house in Banasawadi.

But after spending a few months with him, Kirthi realised that Rangarajan was just using her and had no intentions of marrying her. Also, she came to know that Rangarajan was planning to get married to another girl.

When she confronted Rangarajan, he allegedly hired some goons who threatened Kirthi of dire consequences if she made an issue out of it.

Disturbed by his behaviour, she had an argument with Rangarajan, after which he allegedly tried to set her on fire. However, Kirthi managed to escape and later filed a complaint with the police.

Inspector of HSR Layout police station, Rajesh said, that he has summoned Ranarajan for enquiry.

"He admitted his mistake and has promised to patch up. I'll try to give him a chance. If he doesn't mend his ways, then I'll surely take legal action against him," Rajesh said.
