A woman's alleged extramarital affair drove her husband to kill himself in an area under the Sinhagad Road police jurisdiction. Pravin Dnyaneshwar Nimbalkar (39) was found hanging in his residence, where he lived with his wife and a son, on July 17.
The complaint was filed against the woman and two other men by the deceased man's elder brother, Prashant Dnyaneshwar Nimbalkar (41) after the funeral and last rites were over, according to the police. The complainant is a farmer in the Adarki Khurd area of Satara.
Nimbalkar had married the woman in 2006, said the police. Years after their marriage, Nimbalkar found out about his wife's ‘questionable’ conversations with two men.
