Lending his smartphone to his 17-year-old daughter proved disastrous for a rowdy-sheeter from Mandya district who was clandestinely having an extramarital affair. The girl, who chanced upon an intimate video of her father with another woman— that too a relative— told her mother who now wants to end the 18-year-old marriage.

While the wife has sought a divorce, the man is adamant to be reunited with his family. Cops and voluntary organisations have been trying to broker peace between them but in vain so far. The couple has two daughters aged 15 and 17.

The well-kept secret unravelled in October when the man gave his smartphone to his older daughter, a Class XII student, for her online lessons. While going through the phone’s contents, the teen found the video and told her mother, who approached police and women’s organisations seeking action against her husband. A non-cognizable report was subsequently filed.

Since adultery is no longer an offence, the man cannot be proceeded against on that count, as demanded by the wife, said a police officer. We have to ascertain if he filmed the video without the woman’s consent or if he forwarded it to other devices,” an officer said.
