Techie suicide: Bengaluru police summons Atul Subhash's wife for questioning

Jaunpur (UP): The Bengaluru City Police on Friday issued a summons to Nikita Singhania, the estranged wife of the late engineer Atul Subhash, who killed himself, alleging harassment at the hands of his estranged wife and her family.
She was asked to appear before them within three days. The 34-year-old techie died by suicide in Bengaluru on Monday.  

A four-member Bengaluru City Police team led by sub-inspector Sanjeet Kumar arrived at Singhania's residence in the Khowa Mandi area of Jaunpur district around 11 am and pasted the notice for her summons, PTI reported.

According to Circle Officer (City) Ayush Srivastava, the Bengaluru City Police notice said, "Nikita Singhania to appear before the investigating officer at Marathahalli police station, Bengaluru, within three days for interrogation regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband, Atul Subhash."

The notice, addressed solely to Singhania, did not mention other accused family members, including her mother, Nisha Singhania, uncle Sushil Singhania and brother, Anurag Singhania, despite their names being in the FIR. At the time the notice was pasted, the main door of the house was locked and no family members were present.

Srivastava said the team planned to visit the civil court in Jaunpur to gather information about cases previously filed by Singhania.

Subhash died by suicide in Bengaluru on December 9, allegedly due to harassment by his estranged wife and her family. A case of abetment to suicide has been filed against Singhania and her family members.
