Brief Facts
Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old deputy general manager at a private firm, was found dead by suicide on Monday in his Bengaluru apartment. He left behind a 24-page suicide note accusing his wife and her relatives of harassment. The note also alleged that a judge had demanded Rs 5 lakh to “settle” the case.
Earlier, the wife of Bengaluru-based techie Atul Subhash, who tragically died by suicide, along with her parents, has sought anticipatory bail from the Allahabad High Court.
The plea was filed mere hours after the Bengaluru police summoned them to appear at the Marathahalli Police Station within three days.
The petition was submitted by the deceased’s wife, Nikita Singhania, alongside her mother, Nisha Singhania, father, Sushil Singhania, and brother, Anurag Singhania, as they seek anticipatory bail.
Officials indicated that the High Court is expected to hear their petition on Monday.
DCP Kumar stated that multiple teams were deployed to various locations to apprehend the accused.
Meanwhile, Pawan Kumar Modi, the father of the deceased, has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for custody of his grandson. Although he expressed gratitude to the police for the arrests, he emphasized that justice remains incomplete as a new maintenance case has been filed against him concerning his grandson.
Atul Subhash’s brother, Bikas Kumar Modi, also voiced concerns about the whereabouts of his nephew, noting that two additional arrests in the case are yet to be made.
Following this, Singhania and her family approached the Allahabad High Court to seek anticipatory bail in the case. The matter is yet to come up for hearing.
Meanwhile, a public interest litigation (PIL) was filed in the Supreme Court, highlighting the alleged misuse of dowry and domestic violence laws against men and requesting guidelines to prevent such abuse.
