Bengaluru: The Bengaluru City Police on Sunday arrested techie Atul Subhash’s estranged wife Nikita Singhania, mother-in-law Nisha Singhania and brother-in-law Anurag Singhania on charges of abetment to suicide.
Nikita Singhania was arrested in Gurugram, while her mother Nisha Singhania and brother Anurag Singhania were detained in Prayagraj. Nkita’s uncle Sushil Singhania, another accused, is absconding.
All four accused had sought anticipatory bail from Allahabad High Court. Police have booked the accused under sections 108 (abetment of suicide) and 3(5) (criminal act with a common intention) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old software engineer, was found dead at his residence in Munekolala in Bengaluru on Dec. 9, leaving behind a 24-page note and video accusing his wife and her family of harassment.
A cover-up?
Meanwhile, it has come to light now that several files in a Google Drive link he shared before his death have mysteriously gone missing. The files missing from the shared Google Drive include his 24-page suicide note.
Several social media posts have alleged a “clean-up” to destroy evidence.
Some users, who had saved the files earlier, have shared them again on multiple platforms. Some have also accused law enforcement authorities of getting Google to remove the files.
