Moodbidri, Apr 22: An NRI man has complained to Moodbidri police that his wife cheated him to the tune of several lacs of rupees. He has also mentioned in the complaint that she posed him life threat if he came back to India to settle down.

Santhosh Shetty from Kadandale is the complainant.

As per details in the complaint, Santosh married Apoorva from Kashipatna in 2011 when he was working in Kuwait. He gave her jewellery worth Rs 25 lacs during the wedding. Then after his return to Kuwait, he kept on remitting money to her. He also deposited Rs 63 lacs in a fixed deposit in her name.

In addition to the above, a house worth Rs 28 lacs in Kadandale, a scooter and car were also registered in her name, which she enjoyed. Santosh also kept all the documents belonging to him with her.

As per Santosh, the problem started when he decided to come back to India and settle down. Santosh says his wife, with the help from her close relatives, has told him not to come back to India and also has posed him life threat. He has said that his belongings and documents are not given to him.

Moodbidri police are investigating the case.

    NRI's be Alert:
    Such things happens everywhere, Most of the family/relatives are asking for hefty money from NRI's where these NRI's poor man sweating himself in desert sand for better living and getting nowhere in the life as long as these people are ripping them off.
    I know few NRI"s who complaint about his family members who asking for hefty money just house painting Rs.2,50,000 (Actual cost is app. Rs.60,000), College fees 95,000(Actual is Rs 12,000)
    Minor sickness RS.1,00,000(Actual is Rs.8,000),Parish Feast house celebration Rs.1,20,000(Actual Catering Rs.18,000-catering become fashion for lazy people who don't want to cook)
    Most recently one NRI send money for wedding within his family RS.7,00,000(Actual expenses RS.4,50,000) rest of easy profit.
    NRI be careful.. ask for the bills/receipts/statement/questions ..etc. Don't be like Basawa or Tennali Rama, one day when go home empty, you may have to eat pickle and Cangy rice, no one going to feel pity on you.
    Time is changed accordingly attitude of people have changed, most of them are looking for money in home town, all talking about Lakhs and crores, really shocking.

    I think you should NEVER disclose to ANYBODY when you will decide/have decided to quit from your overseas job and want to settle down in your native land. It is your ultimate decision and your life partner or your blood relations whoever they may be, should accept this gracefully.

    Now (with the situation becoming unpredictable even in the GCC and going out of control), even your near and dear ones should not object to this. They should respect, understand you and acknowledge this fact After all, we are guests in this world. Someday or the other we have to tighten up our seat belts and when you wish, call it a day. I personally feel if you have a understanding, and a caring life mate and siblings, there is no reason why you cannot confide with them. If they do not understand and support you, what is the use? I think you give them space and if the need arises, better to stay alone. You can in this way be assured of your own self-prestige and pearls of wisdom instead of bending to threats and becoming obligatory to their commands. Nowadays with the cost of living spiraling up, one has to think 10 times before making a right choice UNLESS he is financially well to do and is capable of sustaining himself the rest of his life.

    This happens mostly when wife trusts her blood relatives more than her husband & his relatives.

    When Husband is away, almost all (99%) of wives prefer to depend on her own people more than her husband's relatives (of course for various reasons).

    Moreover, when her relatives know, she is a 'hen giving golden eggs', all her relatives become very nice to her and always support her against her husband and his relatives, though she is sometimes 100% wrong & she starts to think, my relatives are so..... nice & my husband only bad (so sad but true!) with time, her brain stops thinking who is right & who is wrong, she starts believing only her own people.

    She will realise only when she understands true colours of her so... nice relatives after losing everything!

    Feel sorry for Mr. Shetty. This is the fate of most of the NRI's who are wanting to come and settle down in their own land with their own people. Most of the time I feel we are only cash registers. Reminds me of a Malayalam movie of Mammutty an uneducated NRI's life who spends whole of his life to look after and his family and build his own house and after many years his dead body is brought to his home and and his own son is not ready to keep the body in the new house. Hope things will change.... and will not be another Bhaskar Shetty episode.

    Something is not right in this version. In 6 years, Santosh Shetty, the husband gave to his wife 25L worth of jewelry, 63L in FD, house worth 28L, scooter, car and also remitted more money from Kuwait - seems like a very rich guy. Being a NRI, he would benefit from exemptions in taxation, yet he still kept assets in his wife's name - so that she is liable for tax. Doesn't make sense. Also, why does someone who has abundant cash and liquid assets not invest in real estate ?

    When he could make such a huge saving in a short time he should forget about it and start a new life. In general cases in India if you work for all your life also, you can not make much savings.

    I am yet to come across a woman who happily transfers all her money to her husband's account.

    I am yet to come across a woman who happily transfers even a small part of her money to her husband's account.

    But almost every man I know that works somewhere away from 'home', transfers everything they earn to the wife's account.

    So, it is not really a woman's fault. It is the man's fault. Sad, but true.

    The courts, lawyers, police, media and the society will blame the man.

    That is the way it has always been.

    May be it is high time the IITs come up with a new degree on the subject of 'marriage pitfalls'.

    But talking on such matters may be opposed by many who might take it as an insult to their religion and culture.

    Makes sense. Completely agree.
    But if a Man is at fault,then it's different.. I also wonder why a man will file a complaint if he is wrong. Again it's not like man is alone to be so scared. I am sure even he has his family and relatives too. When the Property papers on his names are given to her for safe keeping, nobody apart from him can claim it.
    So let's wait and not jump into any conclusion.

    @Mangalorean,mangalore,you want to hear wife transfers her money to husband?I have two cases in own friends circle.One keralite nurse was working here,was sending money to her husbands name,he didnt wan tostay here,so went back,bought coffee,rubber plantation and with the money ,married a woman .One more nurse was in canada,sending money,he too did the same ,abandoned her.why people give so much importance to money and not their relationship?Here this woman should have been happy that he comes back and live a harmonish family life.which in the beginning missed.was afraid that her luxurious life and lavish freedom will have to give up?Same time I ask why this man didnt control her,and couldnt makeout her plan?Always better first live together soon after marraige,if possible or see that both meet often ,.In money matters,controlling is better than only trusting.Always dont trust everything you earn ,to your wife,but have a look into the matters.personlly and bankmatters too.Hope this doesnt end like B:shetty.

    As an NRI, specially, if one cannot come to India very often and stay for long time, it becomes easier to have assets in the name of the wife, so that she can deal with the taxation, govt. formalities etc when required. Yes absolute trust is not good either. "Hanna Kandare Henna Kuda Bai Beeduthade" Similar thing happened to NRI entrepreneur, Mr Shetty of Udupi.

    Dear Cynthia,

    I agree with you .. though partly.

    They say "prevention is better than cure". Just as 5 fingers of your hands are not same, so too all wives are not as is your perception. Some partners are strong enough to withstand the storm of many vices of today's age. Touch wood, there are exemplary Christian families too who contribute their mite, take care of so many things in a single handed way, despite their husbands not being with them. They acknowledge the fact that whatever comes through as in their family bank is "savings for the rainy day". So long as this bond is unbroken and strong to tide over any crisis, wives will always be an inspiration to their husbands.

    However, if it is the human tendency to be to the contrary, God save them .

    I don't know how police can solve that problem.
    Police may ask some questions likes these:-
    1. You want your money and documents back?
    2. You want wife back.
    3. Both of the above.

    But this man should be very careful in future . As a precaution police should detain his wife and relatives in first place.
