Mr Satyam In facts mentioned by you it does not constitute any offence of 406/420 IPC. In divorce proceedings you can make adluteror a respondent.

Obscenity in communication, receiving money, gifts jewellery erc. Without knowledge of husband is not breach of trust. And its a police complaint for further action.

Mr Satyam, in the first instance the applicable section in possible FIR/NCR may not be as you think..and guess forum can understand your innocence but don't think your partner would be so innocent to accept a qualifiable allegations and adultery goes usually well with male gender. Suggest you file a petition for divorce under common cruelty section.
