Police said, Savithramma, who had parted ways with her husband, allegedly had an affair with Mahadevappa. He owned five houses in JP Nagar and gave two houses on rent, and three on lease. The houses were let out through Savithramma. She allegedly mentioned herself as Mahadevappa’s wife in rent and lease agreements. Mahadevappa was not aware of the same, police added.
