Mangalore, Sep 10: A day after the news of actor Darshan assaulting his wife Vijayalaxmi made headlines, a similar case occurred on Saturday September 10 in Mangalore, but in a reversal of roles. Much to the amusement and shock of passerby at Balmatta here, a woman chased her husband and caught him with his ‘girlfriend’ and even assaulted her.

A businessman, father of two kids, had come all the way from Manipal to meet his girlfriend who is basically from Kochi and is a lecturer in the city. It is gathered that she is his relative and had even stayed at his house a few years ago. Since then, the wife began doubting her husband's fidelity and phone calls from the girl at odd hours to the man made matters worse.
 
On Saturday, the wife came to Mangalore with the kids and tracked him down with his girlfriend and reportedly harassed her on the street, even tearing her clothes. Public gathered around in no time, some out of curiosity and others with concern, and informed the police who rushed to the spot. Kadri police then took them to the station and tried arriving at a compromise.
 
However, initially the husband said he was being tortured by his wife everyday and denied any such relationship with the other girl and claimed that she was only a good friend. He had helped her in her education which his wife was aware of, he said. Even the girl denied any relationship.
 
Later, the family members of the businessman came to the police station and pleaded with the police to settle the case with a compromise. They also pleaded with the media persons to keep their names anonymous as it was a matter of reputation.
 
No case was registered in the police station.
