'Had started saving money to buy a car for you': Deceased Bengaluru techie in note to his son

Atul Subhash, a senior tech executive who was found dead on Monday in his Bengaluru house, in his note addressed to his four-year-old son said that he had started saving money for a car when he would go to college.

Subhash (34), who hailed from Uttar Pradesh and reportedly faced nine cases, including the charges of murder, unnatural sex and dowry harassment, alleged that the harassment by his estranged wife Nikitha Singhania and her family drove him to die by suicide. Some of the cases even had the names of his parents as the suspects.

“Now with me gone, there will not be any money to loot and I hope that they might start to look at the facts of the cases. Someday, you shall know the real face of your mother and her greedy family.

"I pray that they don't devour you and your soul. I often laugh when I remember that I started saving money(inflation-adjusted) for a car when you go to college. Silly me. Remember this always that You don't owe anything to anyone,” Subhash wrote in the 44-page note, of which four pages were handwritten.

Subhash married Nikita, a software professional, in 2019 and later separated. Among his “last wishes” included live case hearings, letting the custody of his son go to his parents and maximum punishment for his harassers.

“Don't do my ‘Asthi Visarjan’ till my harassers get punished. If the court decides that my wife and other harassers are not guilty, then pour my ashes into some gutter outside the court,” Subhash wrote in the purported note.

“There shall be no negotiations, settlements and mediations with these evil people and the culprits must be punished. My wife should not be allowed to withdraw cases to escape punishment unless she explicitly accepts that she has filed false cases,” the note read.

Subhash also uploaded an 81-minute-long video on the internet titled ‘This ATM is closed permanently. A legal genocide is happening in India’. The video detailed the “abuse and harassment” he went through from his wife and her family.

He shared the video on X with the caption: “@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @TeamTrump I will be dead when you will read this. A legal genocide of men happening in India currently.”

Subhash’s brother Bikas Kumar, who is the complainant in the case, told the media: "Subhash had travelled between Jaunpur and Bengaluru at least 40 times because of the court hearings. I will fight for justice so it sends a strong message."

In 99% of the marriages, men are at fault: Kangana Ranaut

BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut said: “I am shocked. His video is heart-wrenching. The case is infested with communism, socialism, and feminism. The extortion of crores which was beyond his capacity is condemnable. Nevertheless, we cannot use the example of a wrong woman to torture other women. In 99 per cent of marriages, the men are at fault.”
