A week after 34-year-old tech professional Atul Subhash died by suicide, accusations of harassment against his estranged wife Nikita and her family have taken a new twist with claims of missing evidence. Files that were part of a Google Drive link shared by Subhash before his death, including a 24-page suicide note and a letter titled ‘To Milords’ criticising the justice system, have reportedly vanished, fueling allegations of a cover-up.
While Bengaluru police have not addressed these claims, social media users are in an uproar, accusing authorities of attempting to destroy critical evidence. “This is not just a suicide case—it’s a cry for justice,” one user posted. The shared Google Drive, which previously contained the missing files, now displays a poem titled Death Knows No Fear, a letter addressed to the President, and a declaration where Subhash maintained his innocence against charges filed by Nikita.
Several users who had downloaded the files earlier have re-uploaded them on multiple platforms, ensuring wider access. Allegations have also surfaced that law enforcement agencies may have collaborated with Google to remove the files, though neither Google nor the police have provided any comment on the matter.
Atul’s Final Days and Explosive Allegations
Subhash was found dead at his Bengaluru home last Monday. Before his death, he shared a Google Drive link and recorded an 80-minute video detailing his prolonged legal battles. In his suicide note, Atul Subhash accused his estranged wife Nikita, her mother Nisha Singhania, brother Anurag Singhania, and uncle Sushil Singhania of harassment and extortion.
He claimed Nikita filed false cruelty cases against him and his family, demanding a massive ₹3 crore to settle the case. He also alleged that she used their four-year-old child to extract more money, stating that the court had ordered him to pay ₹80,000 monthly as maintenance, but Nikita demanded ₹2 lakh.
“This is not just about me. The system is flawed, and justice is due,” Subhash wrote in his note, which was titled with the same phrase. He harshly criticized the legal system, alleging it is biased against men in marital disputes.
Arrests Made, But Questions Persist
Following his death, Subhash’s brother, Bikas Kumar, filed an abetment to suicide case. Police have arrested Nikita, her mother Nisha, and her brother Anurag. All three were presented in court and are currently in judicial custody for two weeks. Nikita’s uncle Sushil remains at large.
The Subhash family has since demanded the custody of Atul’s son, asking, “Where is he, and why has he not been handed over to us?” This demand has further complicated the legal entanglements surrounding the case.
Social Media Outrage
The missing files have sparked a wave of online protests, with users urging Bengaluru police to investigate the alleged destruction of evidence. “This clean-up attempt shows the lengths people will go to silence the truth,” wrote one commenter. Others shared screenshots and links to the missing files, ensuring they remain accessible despite their removal from the original source.
The case continues to grab national attention, with growing calls for transparency in the investigation. As the legal proceedings unfold, the alleged cover-up and missing files remain a focal point for both the media and the public.
