"Me Gone, There Won't...": Man Dies By Suicide, Blames Extortion By Wife

Atul Subhash, originally from Bihar, was found dead at his home in Manjunath Layout in Bengaluru yesterday

A 34-year-old man died by suicide at his home in Bengaluru, shortly after recording a video accusing his estranged wife and her family of harassment. Bengaluru police have also found a suicide note and registered a case of abetment of suicide following a complaint.

Atul Subhash, originally from Bihar, was found dead at his home in Manjunath Layout in Bengaluru yesterday. Neighbours found him dead after breaking into the flat. A placard that read, "justice is due" was found in his room. His brother Bikas Kumar told police that Atul's estranged wife had filed false cases against him and his parents and that he was mentally upset.

Atul has levelled serious allegations against his wife, her family members and a judge in Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur in a video. He has also left behind a letter addressed to the President, in which he criticised the criminal justice system and flagged a trend of false cases. In another note, he has said he pleads not guilty to all the charges brought against him by his wife. These include charges under the Dowry Prohibition Act and relevant sections such as causing hurt or cruelty against a woman under the Indian Penal Code. "I humbly request the court to stop harassing my parents and brother in these false cases," he said.
