Nikita Has All The Answers: Atul Subhash's In-Laws React To His Suicide

The allegations levelled by Atul Subhash in his suicide note are baseless and Nikita Singhania, his estranged wife, has all the answers, Nikita's uncle Sushil Singhania has said. Sushil Singhania is an accused in the abetment to suicide case registered by Atul's brother in Bengaluru. Police have said they have sent a team to Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur to question Nikita, her mother Nisha, brother Anurag and uncle Sushil.

In what is the Singhanias' first response to the massive row triggered by Atul Santosh's death by suicide and his allegations of harassment against Nikita and her family members, 70-year-old Sushil Singhania said, "I came to know from media reports that I have been named in the FIR. But I have no connection with this. The (divorce) case proceedings have been on for the past three years. Now suddenly this has happened. Our family is not guilty. The court will deliver its judgment."

"Subhash's allegations are baseless. Nikita is not here. Once she returns, she will respond to everything. She has an answer to every allegation they have made. I live separately. I am her uncle, but I don't have much information about the case. They have been handling it," he said.

Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old techie, was found dead at his Bengaluru home on Monday morning. A 'justice is due' placard and a 24-page suicide note was found in his room. The note accused Nikita and her family members of harassing him during the divorce case proceedings to make him pay huge amounts as maintenance and alimony.

Atul's brother Bikas Kumar has said in his complaint to the police that Atul has detailed in his suicide note how he was being mentally and physically harassed and extorted by the accused.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Whitefield, Shivakumar told news agency ANI, "Atul Subhash committed suicide during the early hours of 9th of December. A complaint has been lodged at the Marathahalli police station in Bengaluru regarding this. Multiple cases were running against him in Uttar Pradesh. His wife and her family members demanded money from him to settle this issue and harassed him. For those reasons, he died by suicide. Based on this complaint, we registered an FIR against the accused. An investigation is underway."
