Days after Bengaluru-based Atul Subhash died by suicide, police arrested his estranged wife Nikita Singhania, mother-in-law and brother-in-law in a case related to abetment of suicide.
A senior police officer said that Nikita was arrested from Haryana’s Gurugram.
Her mother Nisha and brother Anurag were arrested from Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.
A police officer said that the accused were produced before court and were sent to judicial custody.
All three have been accused of demanding ₹3 crore to withdraw cases against Atul and ₹30 lakh for visitation rights to see his son.
Bengaluru Police sought help from their Uttar Pradesh counterpart to trace the accused in the case.
Atul Subhash, a resident of Munnekollal, was found dead inside his apartment on Monday, following which, his brother Bikas Kumar had filed a complaint against Subhash’s wife Nikita, her mother Nisha, brother Anurag, and uncle Sushil Singhania.
The 34-year old narrated his ordeal in a 24-page note and had also posted an 81-minute video.
He had also alleged that a family court judge in Uttar Pradesh favouring his in-laws had been charged with corruption.
Hailing from UP, Subhash was a deputy general manager at an automobile firm in Bengaluru. He got married to Nikita, a software professional, in 2019. They were later separated.
