New Delhi / Bengaluru, Dec 12: The suicide of techie Atul Subhash in Bengaluru has shocked the nation, triggering widespread outrage and sparking a social media movement with hashtags like #JusticeForAtulSubhash and #BengaluruSuicideCase trending across platforms.
Atul’s death, allegedly due to family disputes, has prompted strong reactions, with calls for justice from across the country. On social media, many users have expressed frustration with India’s judicial system, calling for reforms and gender equality. Some are also demanding the removal of Atul’s wife from her job, following allegations raised in his death note.
A 90-minute video recorded by Atul before his suicide has gone viral, where he appealed for action, stating, “A massacre is happening in India. Save the people, restore free speech.”

Nikitha and her family are fully aware of the details surrounding the suicide.” He further added that Nikitha, once she returns to the village, will address all the concerns.
The case has intensified with police filing charges based on a complaint by Atul's brother, Vikas Kumar. The complaint names Atul's wife, her mother, brother, and cousin in connection with the suicide.
While Bengaluru police have intensified their investigation, the case has struck a chord nationwide, with many rallying for justice in Atul’s name.
