Extramarital affair: Odisha Police SI allegedly caught red-handed, wife files complaint

The wife of a police sub-inspector allegedly caught the officer red-handed in a compromising situation with a young woman in his barrack quarters on the Kotagarh police station premises in Odisha's Kandhamal district.

The incident unfolded when the wife and the family members of the police officer, identified as Kuber Digal, arrived unexpectedly at his quarters on Monday.

Sources reported that Digal serves as the sub-inspector at the Subarnapur police outpost under Kotagarh police station while his wife resides in Phulbani along with their kids.

Upon finding him in an inappropriate situation with another woman, the officer’s wife levelled formal charges of an extramarital affair against him with the Kotagarh police.

She also alleged that she had earlier also received information about his husband being involved in possible extramarital affairs, but had ignored it.

“I placed all my trust in him (Digal) and stayed behind to raise our children. However, he did this shameful act despite being a police officer. I had to lodge a police complaint after seeing his misdeed with my own eyes,” grieved Tanuja Digal, wife of the accused officer.
