A shocking tale of obsession, jealousy, and deceit has emerged from Dahisar, where a 40-year-old woman allegedly staged an elaborate conspiracy to defame her own lover and keep him away from another woman.

According to information received, the complainant, a resident of Dahisar, approached the Dahisar Police in December with a disturbing allegation. She claimed that an anonymous letter had been found hanging on her door latch, containing defamatory remarks about her alleged relationship with a man from the same housing society, who is engaged in the imitation jewellery business.


The letter, seemingly written by a woman, not only named both individuals, but also made derogatory comments about the man’s masculinity. Shocked and humiliated, the woman approached the police, claiming someone was trying to malign her reputation.



FIR and early leads

Taking the matter seriously, police registered an FIR under relevant sections of the BNS, including 75, 78, 351(2), 352, 356, along with provisions of the IT Act, and launched an investigation.

Interestingly, police sources revealed that even before this complaint was filed, a young man from the same society had approached the police alleging that objectionable messages about his mother were being circulated in the society’s WhatsApp group. The messages claimed that his mother was in a physical relationship with the same imitation jewellery businessman and even mentioned alleged hotel meetings. Despite being urged by police, the woman (the boy’s mother) refused to file a formal complaint at the time.

Investigation takes a twist

As investigators dug deeper, startling facts came to light. Police discovered that the complainant herself shared close relations with the businessman named in the anonymous letter. Call records indicated that the two were in frequent contact, often speaking for hours.

Further probe revealed that the mobile number used to circulate defamatory messages in the WhatsApp group had been arranged by the complainant through her housemaid. 

Investigators now believe that driven by jealousy over the man’s growing closeness with another woman in the society, the complainant orchestrated the entire drama. From planting the anonymous letter to spreading defamatory messages, the aim was to tarnish his image and isolate him from others.

Next course of action

Police have summoned the other woman for recording her statement and are preparing to have it recorded before a magistrate to strengthen the case. Officials confirmed that they are building a strong prosecution against the complainant, who is now likely to face arrest for filing a false complaint, spreading defamatory content, and misleading authorities.

“This appears to be a clear case of a self-orchestrated conspiracy driven by personal motives. We are following all legal procedures,” said a police officer.
