PUNE: While adultery
isn't uncommon, it's the lurid drama that has made this case quite the affair
to remember. It wasn't just that the lover entered the Shukrawar Peth home of a
couple disguised in a woman's nightgown and scarf for a romantic liaison with
the wife, but also that he attempted to drug the already sleeping husband with
a rag soaked in a chloroform - like substance — unluckily for him, he got
caught in the process, resulting in a scuffle that left the irate spouse holding
a dupatta and the realisation that his assailant was one of his former close
friends.
Khadak police on Saturday arrested 44-year-old
Rajesh Ghisulal Mehta, a small-time developer and resident of Gangadham Chowk
in Bibwewadi. The complainant is a utensils trader, who stays in a bungalow
along with his wife and two children. His friendship with Mehta often led to
the latter visiting their home, and police now suspect that the same modus
operandi was even used earlier to cuckold him.

The husband elaborated, "I woke up early that
day and went to the gym with my wife. When we returned, I decided to rest after
breakfast. Around 11 am, when I was in deep sleep, a strong odour woke me.
Under the impression that I was being robbed, I said, 'Tum kaun ho, yahan kaise
aaye, tumhe kya chahiye (who are you, why are you here, what do you want)'.
But, he started slapping me and we began to scuffle. I somehow pushed him away
and he ran into another bedroom and locked the door from inside. I saw my wife
and asked her if she knew who this was, but she denied any knowledge of him.
Suddenly, he sprang out and began running downstairs. I grappled with him and
he tore my t-shirt. I was stunned to see he was in a night gown around this
time.
He escaped unmasked, and I saw it was Mehta." He added that Mehta
abused him and threatened him with consequences before driving off in his car.
The complainant called his nephew soon after, but lost consciousness, probably
due to the after effects of being drugged.
The traumatised trader lodged a complaint at Khadak
police station three days after the incident, and Mehta has now been booked
under sections 452 (house-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or
wrongful restraint), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult
with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of
the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Mehta was produced before the holiday court on
Sunday and remanded in police custody till January 10.
