Wife catches man in bed with teen, gets her to file rape case

A Bhandup resident caught her husband in bed with a 17-year-old girl on Tuesday night. Angry, she asked the girl, a distant relative of her husband's, to lodge a rape case at the Bhandup police station.

The incident took place around 8pm at Tembhi Pada. The woman, who had gone
to market, found her husband, Amit Nivalekar, 34, in a compromising position with the minor when she returned home. Enraged, she abused both of them and asked the girl to lodge a rape case against her husband. She took both of them to the police station.

During preliminary investigation, the victim revealed that Nivalekar called her on her mobile phone on Tuesday evening saying that he had some important work with her. Believing him, she reached his home. Alone at home, he allegedly forcibly took her to the bedroom and got physical with her. She said he also threatened her not to reveal the incident to anyone. However, his wife reached home and caught them.

The victim said being a relative of his, she knew Nivalekar since she was a kid. He had allegedly forced her to have sex with him on two previous occasions — October 20, 2012, and January 17 — at his home.

“Nivalekar, who works in a private company, was arrested for rape and threatening
to kill the victim," said Srirang Nadgauda, senior inspector. He added that the victim has been sent to the Nagpada police hospital for check-up and the police are waiting for the report.
