New Delhi: An Indian-origin man in the UK, the son of an alleged arms dealer, has sued his estranged wife after discovering that he is not the father of their eight-year-old son.
Sources in the defence industry also pointed out that the man’s father is an arms agent who is under the scanner in India. The father also figures in the CBI’s confidential list of ‘Undesirable Contact Men’ — people suspected of manipulating government contracts.
The UK citizen, a businessman by profession, wants his wife to return “every penny” that he has spent in bringing up the child. He also wants to be compensated for “distress” and wants his wife to reveal the name of the boy’s father, UK newspaper Daily Mail reported.
Details of the case emerged Tuesday in a ruling published by a judge who had analysed evidence during the latest round of litigation. Justice Cohen indicated that he would make a decision after another round of hearing.
Cohen also said the man was “devastated” to learn about the boy while observing that the woman was “full of remorse”.
The man had earlier got into a legal tiff with his wife in connection with a bribery scandal.
