Man blackmails wife with video of first night to return home, complaint filed

BENGALURU: A woman has accused her husband of blackmailing her with a video of their first night, in Bengaluru. She has since lodged a complaint with the police who are on the lookout for the husband.

The victim, who married Govindaraju one-and half-years ago, had left her husband’s home in Amruthahalli and returned to her parents’ place in Andhra Pradesh. The couple had got married after falling in love.

Govindaraju, who did not go to work and stayed home, allegedly spent most of his time playing online betting games. After his wife returned to her parental home, he sent the explicit video to her mobile phone and threatened to upload it on social media if she didn’t return to him and obey him.

The woman, who was shocked and disturbed by the video, filed a complaint against her husband at the Amruthahalli police station, accusing him of harassment and blackmail.
