NEW DELHI: Bengaluru Police on Sunday arrested estranged wife Nikita Singhania, the wife of deceased Bengaluru techie Subhash Atul, along with her mother and brother, in an abetment to suicide case.
According to Shivakumar, DCP White Field Division, accused Nikita Singhania was arrested from Gurgaon, Haryana, while Nisha Singhania and Anurag Singhania were arrested from Prayagraj.
They were produced before the court and sent to judicial custody.
Police further stated that the role of another accused, Sushil Singhania, a relative of Nikita, is under investigation, and efforts are underway to trace him.
Nikita has been identified as accused No. 1 in the case, her mother Nisha as accused No. 2 and her brother Anurag as accused No. 3.
The police have approached the forensic science laboratory (FSL) experts and cyber crime team to analyse the death note, video left by Atul and his devices to retrieve data.
Anticipatory bail applications filed
Atul’s estranged wife and her family members filed anticipatory bail pleas in Allahabad high court, according to reports on Saturday.
The pleas for anticipatory bail came after the Bengaluru City Police on Friday issued a summons to Nikita Singhania and asked her to appear before it within three days.
Subhash, a 34-year-old engineer, died by suicide in Bengaluru on Monday, allegedly due to harassment by his estranged wife and her family members.
A case of abetment to suicide has been filed against Nikita Singhania and her relatives.
