Atul Subhash suicide: No arrests made yet, says Bengaluru police commissioner


Bengaluru, Dec 13 (IANS): Bengaluru Police Commissioner B. Dayanand said on Friday that no arrests have been made so far in the Atul Subhash suicide case.

Speaking to the media, the Police Commissioner said no arrests have been made yet in the case and special teams of the police department have launched a hunt for the accused persons.

"The Marathahalli police have lodged an FIR based on the complaint of the brother of the deceased person. The case is being probed by the officer of the rank of a police inspector. A comprehensive investigation has been taken up as the case is being discussed widely on social media and in society," he stated.

"It is our duty to get justice for the deceased person and the accused will be tracked soon. The police are gathering evidence in the case," Dayanand stated.

Earlier, sources stated that Karnataka Police arrested the mother-in-law and brother-in-law of late Atul Subhash, who committed suicide on December 9 over alleged demand by his wife's family for Rs 3 crore as settlement.

The sensational case has triggered debate over harassment of married men and misuse of dowry provisions in the country. Atul Subhash ended his life on Monday leaving behind a 40-page death note and 90-minute video explaining how he was allegedly tortured by his wife.

Atul Subhash had sent mail to President Droupadi Murmu and the Supreme Court urging them to come to the rescue of harassed husbands and arrest the accused persons, his wife, mother-in-law and others in his case.

A part of the suicide note left behind by 34-year-old Atul Subhash, besides disclosing shocking details, revealed his wish to get ashes poured into a gutter outside the court if those who harassed him were not found guilty.

Atul Subhash, who was working with an automobile company here, allegedly committed suicide as a demand of Rs 3 crore was made for a divorce settlement. Subhash ended his life at his apartment in the early hours of Tuesday, leaving behind a 90-minute video and a 40-page-long death note, explaining how harassment by his wife Nikita Singhania and her family compelled him to take the extreme step.

The note left by him read: "If the court decides that the corrupt judge and my wife and other harassers are not guilty, then pour my ashes into some gutter outside the court. Don't do my 'asthi visarjan' till my harassers get punished."

However, the family collected the 'asthis' from the Bengaluru crematorium on Wednesday where Atul’s final rites were conducted. The family stated that the ashes would be taken to Patna, from where the family originally hails from and it will be immersed into the river as per the traditions.

The suicide note, under the headline "Justice is Due", addressing his 2-year-old child, read: "Now with me gone, there will not be any money to loot and I hope that they might start to look at the facts of the cases. Someday, you shall know the real face of your mother and her greedy family.

"I pray that they don’t devour you and your soul. I often laugh when I remember that I started saving money for a car when you go to college. Silly me. Remember this always that you don't owe anything to anyone. Don’t trust the system." Atul Subhash further listed out his last wishes in the note. "All my case hearings should happen live and people of this country should know about my case and learn the terrible state of the legal system and misuse of law these women are doing."

He also requested to allow the suicide note and videos as his statement and evidence.

"I fear that the judge might tamper with the documents, put pressure on witnesses and can adversely affect other cases. Based on my experience, the Bengaluru courts are relatively more law-abiding than Uttar Pradesh courts. I request to run the cases in Karnataka in the interest of justice and keep her in the judicial and police custody in Bengaluru till the trial goes on," the note read.

He further wrote: "Give the custody of my child to my parents who can raise him with better values. Don’t let my wife or her family come near my dead body. Give maximum punishment to my harassers though I don’t trust our legal system too much. If people like my wife are not put behind jail, they would be more emboldened and will put more false cases on other sons of society in the future.

"To wake up the judiciary and urge them to stop harassment of my parents and my brother in false cases. There shall be no negotiations, settlements and mediation with these evil people and the culprits must be punished," the letter read.

He had also shared a link on X, tagging his video to CEO Elon Musk and US President-elect Donald Trump.

"A dead man is requesting Elon Musk and Donald Trump to save millions of lives from woke ideologies, abortion, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and restore freedom of speech in India. I will be dead when you read this. A legal genocide of men happening in India currently," the suicide note read.

    It is sad a young life has gone. Being a lady, I agree that Law in India about these dowry cases, tend to protect the women, even if it should be the other way. Demanding a divorce settlement of this extent, a huge amount which is beyond the reach of the husband is truly criminal. yes I do agree, as ladies we have to adjust in many ways, like coming from the comfort of one's parents house to the in-laws house, is a strange feeling. If a lady is career oriented, she should be allowed to pursue her career. She will balance the work & life to her best ability. For this husband and his entire family that lives around her should be supportive and understanding. Finding fault with anything she does, treating her like a un-paid maid or similar will damage her self respect. Again, these days we do not find many women giving in to these kind of pressures, they know how to live their lives with education they have & financial independency they own. In this case, it is unrealistic of the wife to demand that high an alimony & here it is. If she is missing that means she is probably guilty of pushing her husband to suicide. No arrest is made so far is strange, knowing the depth of the case. We hope justice prevails. Also I truly hope this child gets a future that it deserves.

    After all this protest and social media requests, the case is still being investigated at police inspector rank. If the deceased person was a celebrity or a kin of a renowned person, DIG himself would have been investigating! Pity our system.

    This is exactly what I wanted to write. Even now, in so many houses husbands family members' ill treat their daughter in laws on various issues. Poisoning their sons mind/even married, unmarried sisters /brothers/uncles aunts etc. If she goes to work that also big issue if not going also big issue. Now here commentators see only one side of the story that wife tortured. And wife's family is demanding money. Even husbands family members must have poisoned Atul about his wife? Why Atul's brother waited so long to give justice to his brother? Now what's the point in giving complaints after his death? The techie fellow writes to Elon and Trump, why he couldn't fight his case legally with the evidences against his wife and won ? He did something wrong and of which his wife has evidences, he committed suicide so that his name not to be spoilt in the society. It looks like Atul's family was behind his money. If he couldn't give 3 crore, he should have fought that he can't give instead of writing lengthy death note pages after pages. Same protest/fight which his brother made country wide famous, he could have done so when he was alive and should have brought to the notice of everyone. After his death, why his brother started this protest? This in order to block the property of Atul, to not to go to his wife and his brother wants to enjoy it. Agreeing that child does not need rs.40,000/- for his monthly maintenance. He could have fought for it. His wife is working and in that case, he doesn't have to give so much money. For everything there is solution /good lawyers. Why his brother didn't take any initiative to take care of his brother? How much This Deepika organisation fought for the rape victims/acid victims? Also why this organisation didn't give justice to the victim whom darshan and Pavithra killed ? Why this organisation lagging behind to give justice to the pocso victim on Yeddyurappa commited crime? Lady wrestler? One wife nt sufficient

    Dear Sujaya, Bengaluru, You make sense in bits. MIL-DIL feud is historic. But, neither put their son/husband under the bus. The latest trend of using, sorry abusing long hand of law to indulge in daylight extortion of husband and his family is endemic and needs to be controlled. Any amount of defense will not explain the volumes of false cases. The latest one, is plainly, criminal.
