Days after Bengaluru-based Atul Subhash died by suicide, police Sunday arrested his estranged wife Nikita Singhania, her mother, and brother in a case related to abetment of suicide.
A senior police officer informed that Nikita was arrested from Haryana’s Gurugram and 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.
They have been accused of demanding Rs 3 crore to withdraw cases against Atul and Rs 30 lakh for visitation rights to see his son.
The arrests come after Bengaluru Police decided to seek 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.
