Bengaluru Techie’s Wife and In-Laws Arrested in Abetment to Suicide Case

Atul Subhash's death and his detailed suicide note alleging harassment by his estranged wife and her family have led to arrests and calls for reform in domestic violence laws.

Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old Bengaluru techie, died by suicide on December 9, leaving behind a 24-page note and video accusing his estranged wife Nikita Singhania and her family of harassment and extortion.
Nikita Singhania, her mother Nisha, and her brother Anurag have been arrested and remanded in judicial custody, while another accused, Sushil Singhania, remains at large.
Subhash’s note criticized the justice system, alleging bias in favor of women and corruption, including a claim that a judge demanded a bribe to settle his case.
Subhash’s family is demanding custody of his four-year-old son, whose whereabouts remain unclear, and have vowed not to immerse his ashes until justice is served.
The case has sparked national discussions on the misuse of domestic violence laws, with calls for legal reforms and greater protections for men in marital disputes.
