Engineer Atul Subhash's estranged wife and her
family members, who he had accused of harassment in his suicide note, have
filed anticipatory bail pleas in Allahabad High Court.
The anticipatory bail applications have been filed
by Subhash's wife Nikita Singhania, her mother Nisha Singhania, brother Anurag
Singhania, and uncle Sushil Singhania.
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.
As
part of its probe into the suicide of engineer Atul Subhash, the Bengaluru City
Police on Friday issued a summons to his wife Nikita Singhania and asked her to
appear before it within three days.
The
34-year-old techie ended his life on Monday in Bengaluru, alleging harassment
at the hands of his estranged wife and her family.
A
four-member Bengaluru City Police team led by sub-inspector Sanjeet Kumar
arrived at Singhania's residence in the Khowa Mandi area in this Uttar Pradesh
district around 11 am and pasted the notice for her summons.
According
to Circle Officer (City) Ayush Srivastava, the Bengaluru City Police notice
said, "Nikita Singhania to appear before the investigating officer at
Marathahalli police station, Bengaluru, within three days for interrogation
regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband, Atul
Subhash."
The
notice, addressed solely to Singhania, did not mention other accused family
members, including her mother Nisha Singhania, uncle Sushil Singhania and
brother Anurag Singhania despite their names being in the FIR.
At
the time the notice was pasted, the main door of the house was locked and no
family members were present.
The
Bengaluru City Police team arrived in Jaunpur late on Thursday.
After
meeting Superintendent of Police Ajay Pal Sharma, the team proceeded to the
city police station for further action.
The
team planned to visit the civil court in Jaunpur to gather information about
cases previously filed by Singhania, Srivastava said.
