In Bengaluru, the tragic death of a 34-year-old AI engineer named Atul Subhash has shocked the whole country. Originally from Uttar Pradesh, Atul died by suicide, blaming his wife Nikita Singhania and mother-in-law Nisha Singhania for mentally torturing him over money. Not just that, he even raised serious questions about the Indian court system and a family court judge in his final message.
His Last Video and Note Are Heartbreaking
Before death, Atul recorded a 1.5-hour-long video and wrote a 24-page suicide awareness. In the video, he shared the whole thing he went through emotionally, legally, and mentally. He said that he had no other alternative left. One of his last wishes was that if justice was not served even after his death, then his ashes should be thrown into a drain near the court.
In the video, he also tagged Elon Musk and Donald Trump. A board reading “Justice is Due” was found in his room. This painful story has gone viral on social media, and #JusticeForAtulSubhash started trending online.
Case Registered Against Wife and Her Family
The police have filed a case of abetment to suicide against Atul’s wife Nikita and her family. While her family has denied all accusations, they refused to speak much to the media. Nikita’s uncle, Sushil Kumar, said, “We are not guilty. We live in a different house. When Nikita comes, she will answer everything.”
What Did Atul’s Family Say?
Atul’s father said, “My son told me that the court where his case was running doesn’t follow Indian law. He traveled at least 40 times from Bengaluru to Jaunpur for hearings. Every time one case ended, a new one was filed against him. He was under a lot of stress, but he never showed it. My wife stayed with him for four months and became diabetic due to the stress. What he said in his note is 100% true.”
A Long Fight and Deep Pain
Atul’s brother Vikas Subhash said that Atul got married in 2019 and had a two-year-old son. But things got worse when his wife and her family filed multiple false cases against him. This pushed him into deep depression. He was already dealing with personal problems in his marriage and now had to face legal pressure as well.
He was working as a DGM in an AI firm in Bengaluru. According to his suicide note, Atul’s wife had filed 9 cases against him, including domestic violence, attempt to murder, and unnatural sex. She also demanded ₹3 crore as alimony.
Key Details from the Suicide Note
Here are some shocking details Atul mentioned:
- He was living separately from his spouse for a long time.
- His wife filed very serious cases against him.
- He was mentally exhausted from 120 court dates.
- He had to travel forty times between Bengaluru and Jaunpur.
- Even his parents and brother had to go to court multiple times.
- He felt completely hopeless and mentally broken.
His Words About the System
Atul also wrote:
“It’s better that I die. The money I earn is being used to destroy me. Even the police, court, and government system are using my tax money to harass me and others like me. If I am not alive, there may be no cash, and no motive to bother my parents or brother anymore.”
These words reveal the deep helplessness and frustration he felt with the legal system.
Conclusion
Atul Subhash’s death is more than just a personal tragedy. It has opened a big debate on how men can also be victims of mental and legal harassment. His final words display that he felt overlooked, betrayed, and broken — through the humans he cherished and by means of the system that have to have blanketed him.
His story is a cry for justice — no longer only for himself, but for many others who might be silently suffering. This case reminds us that mental fitness, legal fairness, and empathy are more vital than ever.
Let us hope that his death doesn’t go in vain, and the truth comes out — for Atul, for his family, and for others facing similar battles.
