A woman has filed a complaint at Chandkheda police station in Ahmedabad, alleging that her in-laws forced her to file for divorce after she discovered her husband’s illicit relationship with another woman, who had also borne his child.

Danilimda resident Hetal Azad filed the complaint with Chandkheda police station.

As per her complaint, her husband Nikunj Azad works as an employee in the fire brigade. Hetal and Nikunj got married in 2013 and have a child together. In 2018, the couple went on a family vacation to Goa, during which Hetal found suspicious chats with a woman on Nikunj’s phone. At that time, Nikunj assured her that he would stop communicating with the woman.

In 2022, the other woman filed a police complaint against Nikunj for sexual harassment, but Nikunj managed to resolve the matter, and the woman withdrew her complaint. They then resumed their relationship.

Upon knowing about the complaint, Hetal informed her in-laws about the situation, but they allegedly threatened her not to tell anyone.

Recently in July, Hetal learned that the woman had given birth to a child and that Nikunj had stayed with her in the hospital during the birth. Distressed by this discovery, Hetal returned to her parents’ home, but her in-laws continued to pressure her to divorce Nikunj and hand over custody of their son to them.

Faced with constant harassment by in-laws and her husband’s actions, Hetal finally filed a police complaint. 

The police have initiated an investigation into the matter.
