Man Seeks Revenge Against Ex-Girlfriend's Lover, Slashes Tires Outside Wrong Home: Police

Investigators say the vehicles' tires were slashed and one had obscenities scratched into its door and fender

A man seeking revenge against the man dating his ex-girlfriend went to the wrong New Jersey house and caused $10,000 in damage to vehicles in the driveway, authorities said.

Ajinka Kelkar believed a vehicle in the driveway of a South Brunswick home belonged to the other man, NJ.com reported. Police said the family that lives there soon discovered several vehicles had been damaged including those belonging to friends who had been sleeping over at the house. 

Investigators said the vehicles' tires were slashed and one had obscenities scratched into its door and fender.

Kelkar was caught on surveillance footage walking around the property with a knife and damaging the vehicles, police said. They say they went to his South Brunswick home and arrested him hours later.

He's charged with trespassing and criminal mischief. He's in custody and can't be reached for comment. It's unclear if he has an attorney.
