Nikita Singhania, the estranged wife of Bengaluru tech professional Atul Subhash, along with her mother Nisha and brother Anurag, has been arrested in an abetment to suicide case.
The Bengaluru police reportedly arrested Nikita from Gurugram in Haryana, while her brother and mother were nabbed from Prayagraj in UP.
This comes days after Atul died by suicide after accusing Nikita and his family of harassment and extortion.
The Singhanias have been produced in court and will be remanded in custody, NDTV reported.
Atul Subhash, the 34-year-old techie hailing from Samastipur in Bihar, was found dead at his apartment in Bengaluru on Monday.
A detailed suicide note was recovered by the police from his residence, with each page beginning with the phrase "justice is due."
In his suicide note and video, Subhash alleged that he married Nikita in 2019 after finding her on a matchmaking website.
Arguments broke out when he refused and she eventually left his home in 2021.
Atul’s brother, Bikas Kumar, filed a complaint with the Marathahalli police, leading to an FIR against Nikita and her family, who reside in Uttar Pradesh.
Atul’s suicide note accused Nikita and her family of persistent financial demands, claiming that exorbitant sums were sought as alimony and maintenance.
The note expressed frustration with the justice system’s handling of marital disputes, saying, “The more I work hard and become better at my work, the more I and my family will be harassed and extorted.”
Atul further wrote that his death would alleviate the financial strain on his family, which he alleged was the primary motive for the harassment.
According to Bikas, the note also described repeated instances of mental and physical abuse, leaving Atul deeply distressed.
