Arrest of Atul Subhash's Family Following His Tragic Suicide in Bengaluru

New Delhi, Dec 15 (NationPress) Just days after the unfortunate suicide of Atul Subhash in Bengaluru, law enforcement apprehended his wife, along with her mother and brother, on Sunday.

A senior police official reported that Nikita Singhania, Subhash's wife, was detained in Gurugram, Haryana, while her mother Nisha Singhania and brother Anurag Singhania were arrested in Prayagaraj, Uttar Pradesh.

Additional information is forthcoming.

Subhash, an employee at an automobile firm in Bengaluru, reportedly took his own life following a demand for Rs 3 crore related to a divorce settlement. He was found deceased in his apartment during the early hours of December 9, leaving behind a 90-minute video and a 40-page death note detailing the harassment he endured from his wife Nikita Singhania and her family.

The note contained a statement: "If the court finds the corrupt judge, my wife, and other harassers innocent, please scatter my ashes in a gutter outside the court. Do not perform my 'asthi visarjan' until my harassers are held accountable."

Despite this, his family collected the ashes from the crematorium in Bengaluru, intending to take them to Patna, their ancestral home, for immersion in the river according to tradition.

In the suicide note titled "Justice is Due", addressed to his 2-year-old child, he expressed: "Now that I am gone, there will be no money left to exploit, and I hope they will finally examine the facts of the cases. One day, you will uncover the true nature of your mother and her greedy family.

"I pray they do not consume you and your spirit. I often chuckle remembering that I began saving for a car for you when you go to college. Silly me. Always remember that you owe nothing to anyone. Do not place your trust in the system." Subhash also articulated his final wishes in the note, stating, "All my case hearings should be conducted live, allowing the public to understand the dire state of our legal system and the misuse of law by these women."

He urged that his suicide note and videos be considered as his statement and evidence.

"I fear the judge may alter the documents, apply pressure on witnesses, and adversely impact other cases. In my experience, the courts in Bengaluru are generally more law-abiding than those in Uttar Pradesh. I request that my cases be tried in Karnataka to ensure justice and that my wife be kept in police and judicial custody in Bengaluru throughout the trial," the note continued.

He further stated: "Grant custody of my child to my parents, who can nurture him with better values. Prevent my wife and her family from approaching my corpse. Impose the maximum punishment on my harassers, though I have little faith in our legal system. If individuals like my wife are not incarcerated, they will only feel emboldened to fabricate further accusations against other innocent individuals in the future.

"I urge the judiciary to awaken and put an end to the harassment faced by my parents and my brother in these false cases. There should be no negotiations, settlements, or mediation with these malevolent individuals, and the perpetrators must face justice," the letter concluded.
