The Dindoshi Police have booked a 35-year-old man for allegedly circulating objectionable photos of his wife on social media and threatening to kill her after she filed for divorce because of his “extramarital affair”. An FIR was registered based on the complaint filed by the accused person’s wife, said police. The accused is a senior section engineer with the Indian Railways.
The couple got married on November 25, 2020, and were living together in Goregaon. Police said that the incident follows a dispute between the couple a few months later over the husband’s affair.
Victim threatened, family abused
A police officer said that on August 23, 2024, after the victim returned to her parental home [in Rajasthan], the accused allegedly visited her residence, abused her family, and threatened suicide while also warning them of implicating them in false cases. The woman then started living separately.
A case has been filed with the Dindoshi Police.
Divorce filed
The victim filed for divorce in the Bandra Family Court in June 2025. Following this, the accused became more aggressive. He gained access to his wife’s Instagram account, changed its name, and impersonated her to communicate with her friends and allegedly threatened to defame her.
‘If you are not mine’
The accused allegedly posted objectionable photos and content of his wife and also issued threats over the phone, saying, “If you are not mine, I won’t let you belong to anyone.” He also threatened to kill her, said police.
Police Speak
A police officer said, “On March 18, 2026, the accused allegedly sent private and explicit photos and videos via WhatsApp to his wife and her friends using the ‘one-time view’ feature and later deleted them. However, the complainant managed to record the content using another mobile phone.” The accused is further alleged to have made the photos viral on Instagram, thereby defaming the woman. He also reportedly sent abusive voice messages to the woman’s friend and her, questioning her character, said police.
Case filed
Based on the complaint, the Dindoshi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the husband on March 21 under sections 351(2), 352, and 356 of the BNS, along with Sections 66C, 66E, and 67A of the Information Technology Act.
