Wife absconding, mother-in-law and brother-in-law arrested in Atul Subhash suicide case

New Delhi: Karnataka Police have arrested Nisha Singhania, mother-in-law of Atul Subhash, and her son Anurag Singhania in connection with Atul’s alleged suicide.

The arrests were made on Thursday night in Uttar Pradesh’s Jaunpur district, while Atul’s wife, Nikita Singhania, remains absconding. A search operation has been launched to locate her.

Atul Subhash’s suicide has sparked national debate over the alleged harassment of married men and misuse of dowry laws.

On Monday, he took his own life, leaving behind a detailed 40-page suicide note and a 90-minute video outlining the torture he allegedly endured at the hands of his wife and in-laws.

The arrests were carried out within the jurisdiction of the Jaunpur police station, where the accused are currently being interrogated. Karnataka Police are expected to transfer the suspects to Bengaluru on Friday, pending court approval.

The case has ignited discussions across the country about the need for reforms in addressing harassment and ensuring justice in dowry-related disputes.
