The accused tried to flee three times, but the accused persons caught up to him, said a police officer. Five people have been arrested in the case so far.

The complainant got married in 2003 and divorced in 2021. While he was married, he met an old school friend in 2018 and exchanged mobile numbers with her. Their renewed friendship grew into an extramarital affair.

“Two years after they met, they decided to divorce their spouses to marry each other. So, he got divorced in October 2021. However, she stayed in her marriage,” said a police officer.
