Atul Subhash`s Suicide Case: Techie`s Wife, In-Laws Arrested

Atul Subhash Suicide Case: The wife and in-laws of the Nengaluru techie were arrested by the police.

Atul Subhash Suicide Case: Key details have emerged in the suicide case of Atul Subhash, a Bengaluru techie who ended his life on Monday, alleging harassment at the hands of his estranged wife and her family. The wife and in-laws of the 34-year-old techie were arrested and sent to judicial custody, news agency ANI reported on Sunday. 

According to ANI, accused Nikita Singhania has been arrested from Gurugram in Haryana, and the other accused, Nisha Singhania and Anurag Singhania, were arrested from Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj. Shivakumar, DCP White Field Division, Bengaluru, said that they were produced before the court and given to judicial custody.

The latest development came two days after the Bengaluru City Police issued a summons to his wife Nikita Singhania and asked her to appear before it within three days. Earlier this week, a four-member Bengaluru City Police team led by sub-inspector Sanjeet Kumar arrived at Singhania's residence in the Khowa Mandi area in this Uttar Pradesh district around 11 am and pasted the notice for her summons.

According to Circle Officer (City) Ayush Srivastava, the Bengaluru City Police notice said, "Nikita Singhania to appear before the investigating officer at Marathahalli police station, Bengaluru, within three days for interrogation regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband, Atul Subhash."

The notice, addressed solely to Singhania, did not mention other accused family members, including her mother Nisha Singhania, uncle Sushil Singhania and brother Anurag Singhania despite their names being in the FIR. At the time the notice was pasted, the main door of the house was locked and no family members were present.

The Bengaluru City Police team arrived in Jaunpur late on Thursday. After meeting Superintendent of Police Ajay Pal Sharma, the team proceeded to the city police station for further action.

The team planned to visit the civil court in Jaunpur to gather information about cases previously filed by Singhania, Srivastava said. Subhash, a 34-year-old engineer, died by suicide in Bengaluru on December 9, allegedly due to harassment by his estranged wife and her family. A case of abetment to suicide has been filed against Singhania and her family members.
