Atul Subhash Suicide | Accused-Wife Moves Allahabad High Court Seeking Anticipatory Bail In Abetment To Suicide Case

Subhash, who allegedly died by suicide due to alleged harassment by his wife through the filing of matrimonial cases, left behind a 'justice is due' placard and a 24-page suicide note. He also recorded an 81-minute video in which he accused his wife, Nikita Singhania, and her family members of subjecting him to harassment during an ongoing legal battle over divorce, alimony, and child custody in a family court in UP's Jaunpur district.

An FIR was lodged against Nikita and her three family members by Bikas Kumar, the brother of Atul, in Bengaluru for abetment of suicide against them.

As per the High Court's website, Accused Nikita, her mother (Nisha Singhania), her brother (Anurag Singhania) and her uncle (Sushil Singhania) have filed an anticipatory bail plea on Friday. The matter is likely to come up for a hearing later this week.

In the wake of this suicide case, a PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking directions to ensure that the husband and his family members are not harassed in cases filed under domestic violence and dowry laws.
