Bengaluru techie suicide: Karnataka Police issues summons to wife Nikita, her family members
Bengaluru/IBNS: As a part of their investigation into the Bengaluru techie's suicide case, the Karnataka Police has issued a summon to Atul Subhash's wife Nikita Sighania, and her family members.
The police have granted them 3 days to appear before Marathahalli Police Station in Bangalore.
Based on a complaint by Atul's brother, Bikas Kumar, a four-member team of Bengaluru Police, including one woman police personnel, arrived at Nikita Singhania's residence in Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur and pasted a notice.
In addition to Nikita, her mother Nisha Singhania, brother Anurag Singhania, and uncle Sushil Singhania, have been asked to appear before the police.
"There are reasonable grounds to interrogate you to ascertain the facts and circumstances. You are directed to appear before the investigating officer at Bengaluru within 3 days," the notice reads.
34-year-old techie Atul Subhash died by suicide on Monday accusing his estranged wife and her family members of harassment and extortion in an 81-minute video and a 24-page suicide note.
The FIR was filed under Sections 108 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). are booked for abetting his suicide.
In a suicide video, he alleged that he and his family were slapped with charges of murder, dowry harassment and unnatural sex. However, Nikita later withdrew the case.
Atul had refuted the dowry charges by Nikita and also claimed there was no link between the dowry demand and the death of Nikita's father.
He claimed he came across Nikita on a matrimonial site and his wife lives in Bihar's Samastipur only two days before moving to Bengaluru.
Atul was found hanging at his home on Monday with a 24-page suicide note.
In the suicide note, Atul alleged his wife was getting Rs. 40,000 per month for maintenance despite having a job at Accenture and even asked for Rs. 2-4 lakh more.
