TECH entrepreneur Prasanna Sankar, who is currently embroiled in an acrimonious divorce and custody dispute with his estranged wife Dhivya Sashidhar, has now accused her of having an extramarital affair and filing false police complaints against him, according to media reports.
The two met at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, and got married 10 years ago. They have a nine-year-old son.
Shankar co-founded Rippling, a workforce management software company, in 2016 with Parker Conrad, and the company is currently valued at around $10 billion.
He is currently on the run from Chennai Police, after Dhivya sought their assistance to recover their son, whom she alleges was kidnapped by her husband.
Sankar has accused his wife of falsely accusing him of rape, domestic violence, and kidnapping.
He has also accused Dhivya of using her contacts within the police force to harass him.
Some of his allegations have now gone viral on social media.
Shankar alleged that their marriage fell apart after he discovered that Dhivya was having an extramarital affair with a man named Anoop.
To substantiate his claims, he made public the WhatsApp chats between Dhivya and Anoop.
In one of the chats Anoop is purportedly asking Dhivya to buy a condom.
On social media platform X, Prasanna shared a screengrab showing a hotel booking for two people under Anoop’s name.
Shankar claims the screenshot was allegedly sent to him by Anoop’s wife, and it shows the booking was made by Dhivya.
Earlier, in a viral video on social media, Dhivya has accused Shashidar of being a ‘sexual pervert’.
She alleged that her husband lost his job in the US following his arrest in San Francisco on charges of soliciting prostitutes.
She also accused her father in law of having a criminal history of abusing women.
Dhivya alleged that her husband threatened her and their son over a property dispute, that forced them to move to India from Singapore.
