If the said sexual act was committed after marriage, you can lodge a complaint against him. For acts prior to marriage you can not seek remedy from the person, but, you can mention this as a grounds of divorce.

in case the indecent behaviour on the part of your wife and the man was caused after marriage, you can sue your wife for divorce on the grounds of adultry and implead the man as a co respondent in the petition. u can also file a criminal case against the man u/s 498 (it is not 498a, so dont get confused.) of indian penal code.

Consented sex between an adult man and woman is not an offence.

Sex by a married woman with person other than her husband without permission of husband is an offence.

Since all that had happened before marriage, there is no offence. It may not be even a good ground for divorce. You may end up in a messy situation depriving yourself of the company of your wife and suffering litigation for an unduly long time.
