NEW DELHI: A civil court in Bengaluru granted bail to Nikita Singhania, wife of Atul Subhash who died by suicide, along with his mother-in-law Nisha Singhania and brother-in-law Anurag Singhania on Saturday.
Atul Subhash died by suicide after being pressured to pay Rs 3 crore for a divorce. On December 9, he was found dead in his apartment, leaving a 90-minute video and a 40-page note detailing harassment by his wife and in-laws.
Bengaluru Police arrested Nikita Singhania, along with her mother and brother, who were subsequently remanded to 14-day judicial custody.
An FIR has been filed under Sections 108 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) following a complaint by Bikas Kumar, who accused them of abetting the suicide.
During questioning, Nikita denied the allegations of harassment against her husband, asserting that she herself had been the victim of harassment. She explained that she had been living separately from him for almost three years and questioned the logic of harassing him for money while being apart.
