BENGALURU: Nikita Singhania, the estranged wife of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, who allegedly died by suicide, has denied the allegations of harassment, asserting that it was actually she who had been harassed by her husband.
During questioning, Nikita claimed she didn’t harass her husband; instead, she was harassed by him. She claimed she was staying away from him for almost three years. If she harassed him for money, why would she stay away from him, she was quoted as saying.
Nikita was arrested in Gurugram, Haryana, while her mother Nisha and brother Anurag were picked up from Prayagraj. All were sent to 14-day judicial custody.
Atul Subhash, 34, died by sucide, leaving behind a video and a 24-page death note. He cited domestic issues, including eight false police complaints and a biased family court judge, as reasons for his despair.
In his note, Atul stated that he was being harassed by his in-laws, who demanded money from him. He apologized to his parents for not being able to take care of them in their old age.
Atul’s video has gone viral, sparking reactions about men’s rights and mental health. He requested that his harassers be punished and that his last rites not be completed until then.
