The 34-year-old techie ended his life in Bengaluru on Monday, saying he was being harassed by his estranged wife and her family. A case of abetment to suicide has been registered against his wife Nikita Singhania, her mother Nisha, father Anurag and uncle Sushil.

Several videos have emerged on social media showing them leaving their home around midnight. When the media reached Nikita’s parents’ house in Jaunpur on Wednesday, her brother and mother had refused to talk to them.

Jaunpur SP said there was a routine police operation in the Khowa Mandi area of ​​the district which was required to maintain law and order.

Meanwhile, Kotwali police station inspector-in-charge Mithilesh Mishra said the police had no instructions to arrest Nisha Singhania and others, stop them from leaving their homes or place them under house arrest.

According to her relatives, while her family lives in Jaunpur, Nikita Singhania stays in Delhi with her son and works there. She married Subhash in April 2019 and filed an FIR against husband Subhash and his in-laws in 2022, accusing them of dowry harassment.

Nikita’s uncle Sushil Kumar, who is also named in the FIR, maintained his innocence and said that the allegations made by Atul Subhash in his suicide note were baseless. He further said that neither he nor any member of his family was present at the crime scene, adding that Nikita Singhania had all the answers.

Atul Subhash’s family demands justice for him and strict action against his harassers so that his soul can rest in peace.

Subhash’s brother Bikas said, “I want justice to be done for my brother. I want there to be a legal process in this country through which even men can get justice. How will people expect justice?
