What happened?
Technician Atul Subhash died by suicide by hanging himself in a flat in Bengaluru last month. The 34-year-old was working in a senior position at a private company in Bengaluru. Before taking the extreme step, Atul wrote a 24-page letter detailing serious allegations of harassment against his wife and her family.
According to the letter, Atul alleged that his wife had demanded ₹3 crore from him to settle their divorce case. Additionally, she had demanded a separate amount for the upbringing and maintenance of their child. Atul also recorded a video seeking justice, claiming that his wife had filed several false cases against him and subjected him to severe mental and emotional torture.
Atul and Nikita had a love marriage after meeting on a matrimonial website in 2019. They married in 2021, and everything seemed fine initially. However, their relationship deteriorated over time. After Atul’s tragic death, his wife Nikita has come under intense scrutiny, with the allegations made by Atul through his letters and videos drawing national attention.
