Mumbai, December 17: In a recent update on the tragic suicide of Bengaluru-based techie Atul Subhash, his estranged wife, Nikita Singhania, has denied the allegations of harassment made by her late husband. Nikita, who was on the run for several days, was arrested and subsequently interrogated by the police. During her questioning, she countered the claims, stating that it was, in fact, Atul who had subjected her to harassment.

Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old native of Samastipur in Bihar, had reportedly accused his wife and in-laws of harassment, which he alleged led him to take his own life. A 24-page suicide note recovered from his apartment detailed his grievances, with each page beginning with the phrase "Justice is due." In the note, Atul accused his in-laws of extorting money and pressuring him for a Rs 3 crore divorce settlement. He also expressed regret for not being able to care for his elderly parents. Atul Subhash Suicide Case: Allahabad High Court Grants Anticipatory Bail to Sushil Singhania, Uncle of Nikita Singhania.

Nikita Singhania, 29, revealed that she and Atul had been living separately for nearly three years. She argued that if she had truly harassed him for money, she would not have stayed away for such an extended period. Nikita’s defence comes amidst serious accusations from Atul’s family, who have voiced their disillusionment with the legal system, claiming that laws seem to protect women while offering little support for men.
