Background: The Incident

On December 9, Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old techie, died by suicide at his Bengaluru residence. The tragic incident sent shockwaves across the city and brought to light allegations of harassment and extortion against his wife and her family.

Before his death, Atul left behind a detailed 24-page suicide note and an 80-minute video in which he accused his wife and in-laws of:

• Harassment over financial demands.
• Extortion of increasing amounts for child maintenance, reportedly reaching up to ₹1 lakh.

Atul’s note and video emphasized his emotional and financial distress, as well as his frustration with systemic failures in providing justice.

Family’s Reaction and Investigation

Atul Subhash’s family has demanded strict action against the accused, asserting that the harassment drove him to take this extreme step. His brother, Bikas Kumar, stated:

“We want justice for my brother. Men also deserve a legal system that hears them. Corruption and harassment cannot go unchecked.”

Meanwhile, the accused family has denied any wrongdoing. Nikita’s uncle, Sushil Singhania, said:

“We are innocent and were not present at the scene. We got to know about his death through the media. The court will decide the truth.”

Legal Proceedings and Next Steps

The Bengaluru Police are currently intensifying the investigation and:

• Await Atul Subhash Wife Nikita Singhania appearance for interrogation within the stipulated three-day period.
• Verifying CCTV footage and other digital evidence to corroborate claims.
• Collecting further statements from witnesses and Atul Subhash’s family.

With mounting evidence and public scrutiny, the case has reignited discussions about the need for gender-neutral laws and support systems for victims of harassment, regardless of gender.

The Bengaluru techie suicide case continues to unfold, with the issuance of the police notice marking a critical step in the investigation. As the authorities work to uncover the truth, the case highlights broader issues of harassment, mental health, and the legal complexities surrounding marital disputes.

The coming days will be pivotal in determining accountability and delivering justice and what Atul Subhash Wife Nikita Singhania did to him and his grieving family.
