Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old engineer, died by suicide on December 9 in Bengaluru, citing alleged harassment by his estranged wife and her family. Nikita, her mother Nisha, uncle Sushil, and brother Anurag have been accused of encouraging Atul to take his life.

The High Court is expected to hear the petition soon. Meanwhile, the legal counsel for the accused has denied the allegations, calling them unfounded, and assured they will fully cooperate with the investigation.

Atul's family, however, has demanded justice and called for the immediate arrest of the accused. The police investigation is ongoing, with further developments anticipated.

Bengaluru Police Summon Nikita Singhania

The Bengaluru police issued a summons to Nikita Singhania, the wife of deceased engineer Atul Subhash, who allegedly committed suicide. Nikita has been asked to appear before the Marathahalli police station within three days for questioning.

A four-member police team, led by sub-inspector Sanjeet Kumar, arrived at Singhania's residence in Jaunpur's Khowa Mandi area at 11 am on Friday to serve the notice. However, the house was locked, and no family members were present, so the summons was pasted on the door.

The summons, addressed solely to Nikita Singhania, requests her cooperation in the investigation into her husband's death. The notice did not mention other family members who have been named in the FIR.

Police Coordination in Jaunpur

The Bengaluru police team arrived in Jaunpur on Thursday evening and met Superintendent of Police Ajay Pal Sharma to coordinate their efforts. On Friday, they visited the local city police station and arranged to go to the civil court to obtain details of the complaints already filed by Singhania.

Allegations of Harassment

Atul Subhash, an artificial intelligence engineer, reportedly cited harassment by his wife and family as the reason for his death. His family is demanding a thorough investigation and swift action against the accused.
