Mine was an arranged marriage. After marriage my wife was acting strange & used to get upset very often, cry without reason, make statements like "who wanted this marriage?". I was suffering all this torture alone. then slowly after a few months i got to know from her that during her studies she had a 4 year long affair in which they lived like husband & wife then when it broke, her parents got her married to me. all these things have been hidden from me & my parents. now after knowing all this even my family is very upset & it is very evident that she has mentally not accepted me as her husband. I am feeling cheated. Moreover, now she has left our home taking all jewellery & stuff & given in writing that she doesn't want to live with me.
Now after 15 days, the girls parents are spreading the news that our home environment is not good therefore she has left the house & now they want us to take her back.
We are not willing after all these incidents.
How do I resolve this issue?
Can I apply for nullity of marriage?
what should be the grounds?
How to go about it?
Legally where do I stand?
What kind of evidence is necessary?

File a petition under section 12 of Hindu Marriage Act for a decree of nullity on ground of fraud and misrepresentation of material fact (Marriage) concerning your spouse's marraige.
But you must have solid evidence of above before proceeding on above ground
