The husband of a senior officer - an additional SP - with the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday accused his wife of having sexual affair with a Mallikarjuna Reddy, an inspector in Kalwakurthy of Nagarkurnool district, and of staying together in the couple's flat in Hyderabad for the last three days.
According to the Kukatpally Housing Board police, the two police officers were found in a flat owned by the woman officer and her husband, on Sunday night. The family members of the husband reportedly beat up Reddy badly with slippers.
"The husband found them together at about 2:30 am on Sunday after he went there along with his family members. A watchman tipped him off that the two were together in the flat in Kukatpally," said Kushalkar, Inspector, KPHB police station.
After the apartment's security guard informed the police about the family dispute, a police team rushed to the spot, but could not do much as it was a family dispute. The husband however got a case registered at the KPHB police station, claiming his wife was "trapped" by Reddy into having an affair with him.
According to reports, the couple had already been living separately often due to differences.
