Bengaluru Techie Atul Subhash Ends Life by Suicide Leaves In 24-page Death Note

A 34-year-old software engineer named Atul Subhash from Uttar Pradesh was found dead in his Bengaluru apartment, leaving behind a 24-page suicide note accusing his wife and her family of harassment. Subhash, who lived alone, reportedly died by suicide due to years of emotional distress caused by multiple legal battles and accusations filed against him.

Key Details of the Incident

• Subhash’s body was discovered hanging with a placard nearby reading “Justice is due.”
• He left a partly handwritten and partly typed suicide note, detailing nine police complaints filed against him by his wife, Nikita Singhania, an Accenture employee, and her relatives.
• The note also accused his wife of weaponizing their four-year-old son to extort large sums of maintenance, including demands of ₹2 lakh per month and even ₹3 crore overall.

Accusations and Legal Battles

1. False Charges: Subhash revealed that his wife had filed murder charges against him, claiming her father died of shock due to dowry demands. Later, in court, Nikita admitted her father had died from a heart ailment in 2019.
2. Financial Pressure: He narrated how his wife, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law pressured him for money, lavish gifts, and investments in a cloud kitchen business.
3. Emotional Pain: Subhash alleged that he was not allowed to meet his son and accused his wife of using the child as a tool for financial extortion.

Public Outrage and Last Wishes

The tragedy has sparked outrage on social media under the hashtag #JusticeForAtulSubhash, with demands for justice and conversations about alleged legal misuse against men. Subhash’s video, where he criticized India’s legal system and called it a “legal genocide of men,” further amplified the debate.

In his final note, Subhash:

• Requested that all his case hearings be conducted live for public awareness about the legal system’s flaws.
• Expressed his preference for Karnataka courts over Uttar Pradesh courts, citing better adherence to law in Bengaluru.
• Left a final message to his son, expressing heartbreak over their estranged relationship.

Atul Subhash’s death highlights deep concerns about emotional distress, legal battles, and the need for reforms in handling family disputes. The case has triggered nationwide discussions on mental health, judicial processes, and the alleged misuse of laws related to marital conflicts.
