The tragic case of Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old AI engineer from Bengaluru, has sparked a widespread discussion about harassment, legal bias, and mental health. Atul died by suicide on Monday, leaving behind a 24-page note that details allegations against his wife, Nikita Singhania, her family, and a family court judge.
The note outlines two specific instances of alleged "instigation for suicide" during divorce proceedings in Jaunpur. On March 21, during a court hearing, Atul claimed his wife mocked him, saying, "Why don’t you die by suicide?" This remark, according to Atul, was met with laughter by the judge. He further alleged that his mother-in-law, Nisha Singhania, made a similar comment on April 10, saying she expected to hear news of his death.
Atul's note expressed frustration with a legal system he believed was skewed against men. He described the immense pressure of repeated court visits and financial demands, stating that he was being harassed and extorted. He alleged that his family was also targeted, and the system offered no relief.
In addition to his suicide note, Atul left a letter for his four-year-old son, cautioning him about the "unfair system" and reflecting his deep distress. His brother, Bikas Kumar, has filed an abetment to suicide complaint against Nikita, her mother, brother, and uncle. While Nikita's lawyer attributed the breakdown of their marriage to interference from Atul's family, her uncle has denied any involvement.
Atul’s death has raised questions about the emotional toll of prolonged legal battles and the responsibility of courts to ensure sensitive handling of such cases. The incident has reignited discussions about systemic reform and the need for mental health support during legal disputes.
Bengaluru Police have registered a case, and investigations are ongoing. The tragic loss of Atul highlights the urgent need for addressing harassment and improving the justice system's sensitivity towards all individuals involved in family disputes.
