The suicide of a 34-year-old Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, harassed by his wife and in-laws in legal tangles, has caused pain to millions of people. Atul left behind a 24-page suicide note and an 81-minute video before he committed suicide. In his emotional suicide note, Atul wrote, “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.” He further wrote, “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.”
