Atul Subhash committed suicide earlier this week, alleging harrasment from his estranged wife and her family. The 34-year-old techie in Bengaluru left an hour-long video and a 24-page suicide note which was also available publicly. Almost a week later his death, his 24-page suicide note and a letter titled To Milords, which contained sharp criticism of the justice system have mysteriously disappeared from the Google Drive link that he shared. The drive now consists of the following – a poem titled Death Knows No Fear, a letter addressed to the President, and a declaration in which Atul proclaimed he was ‘not guilty’ of the accusations made by Nikita and his personal photos in the folder ‘Memories’.
Missing files spark outrage on social media
While authorities are yet to comment, social media users have alleged a cover-up in the case, which has captured national attention and sparked widespread outrage. Many are accusing of orchestrating a “clean-up” to erase evidence and have called on Bengaluru police to investigate.
Some users who had previously saved the missing files have reuploaded them on various platforms to ensure public access. Allegations have also surfaced claiming law enforcement collaborated with Google to remove the files.
“Looks like they have removed the main note which had the ALL MAIN proofs , https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/124VwQpDEL6aHO__s259q2A95DaJ7FGRC was the original drive , DOC named “My Name is Atul Subhash” and “To Milords” has mysteriously vanished . Thankfully I had dowloaded the 24 page document which had proofs, last wishes and his last message to his son,” said one user in a Reddit post.
Wife Nikita Singhania arrested
In a latest updated, Bengaluru Police have arrested Subhash’ wife and her family. Nikita Singhania, the wife of the late techie, was arrested in Gurugram, Haryana, while her mother, Nisha Singhania, and brother, Anurag Singhania, were detained in Prayagraj.
According to Shivakumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for Whitefield Division, the trio was presented in court and subsequently remanded to judicial custody. Authorities are now intensively investigating the events that led to Subhash’s tragic death.
