In a circulating video, Subhash’s mother-in-law, Nisha Singhania, and brother-in-law, Anurag Singhania, are seen engaged in a heated exchange with reporters who approached their home for comment. from their balcony, they demanded the journalist turn off their camera. When pressed for a statement, Anurag issued a threatening response: “We will come ourselves and answer your questions.If you continue to act like this, it will be wrong.” He also firmly stated his refusal to speak to the media without his lawyers present.The confrontational response from subhash’s in-laws has drawn immense criticism on social media platforms. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, remarked, “They’re not shocked, they’re not grieving, they’re not even trying to defend themselves properly. Instead, they’re attacking reporters, showing their arrogance, and acting like they’re above it all.”
Following Subhash’s death, his brother, Bikas Kumar, filed a formal complaint against four individuals: Subhash’s wife, Nikita Singhania; her mother, Nisha Singhania; her brother, Anurag Singhania; and her uncle, Sushil Singhania.

Suicide Fallout: Engineer’s In-Laws Face Scrutiny After Confrontational Behavior
The suicide of Bengaluru engineer Atul Subhash has taken a dramatic turn as his in-laws come under intense public and legal scrutiny for their aggressive reaction to the tragedy. Video footage showing them verbally confronting reporters has gone viral,sparking a debate about their behavior.
“It’s incredibly insensitive and frankly quite shocking,” Priya Sharma, a legal analyst, commented on the incident. “While grieving is deeply personal, their aggressive response to the media, threatening reporters and refusing to comment without their lawyers, sends the wrong message.”
Sharma believes the in-laws’ confrontational approach only fuels public anger and speculation,particularly given the existence of a suicide note and a 90-minute video detailing Subhash’s struggles. “Instead of cooperating with investigations and possibly offering condolences or showing remorse, they chose confrontation. This behavior is highly likely to damage their own case substantially,” she added.
Police have filed a complaint against four individuals,including Subhash’s wife and her family members,based on a complaint by his brother. The charges stem from allegations of abetment of suicide, a serious offense.
“the threatening behavior documented in the video could be used as evidence against them,” Sharma explained. Although it doesn’t directly prove involvement in the suicide, she noted, “it certainly doesn’t help their case. Refusing to cooperate with investigations and making threats can be considered obstructive behavior and could lead to further charges.”
The case hinges on the detailed evidence presented in both the suicide note and the video, which will be crucial in determining the extent of the in-laws’ involvement, if any. The investigation continues, with further updates expected as more details emerge.

**Avery Parker:** Welcome back to Archyde News.We’re discussing the tragic suicide of Bengaluru engineer Atul Subhash and the subsequent outrage over the reaction of his in-laws. Joining me is Jordan Reed, a legal expert specializing in domestic violence cases.Jordan, the video footage of the in-laws confronting reporters has gone viral. What’s your initial take on their behavior?
**Jordan Reed:** it’s deeply concerning.Their aggressive response – threatening reporters and refusing to comment without lawyers – is incredibly insensitive,especially given the circumstances. It suggests a lack of empathy and raises serious questions about their potential involvement. The fact they chose confrontation over cooperation wiht investigations is hugely problematic.
**Avery Parker:** Many are pointing to the suicide note and 90-minute video left by Mr. Subhash, detailing years of alleged harassment from his wife and her family, including nine legal cases filed against him. How might this evidence impact the legal proceedings against the in-laws?
**jordan reed:** The suicide note and video are crucial pieces of evidence. While they don’t automatically prove guilt, they heavily suggest a pattern of harassment that could lead to charges of abetment to suicide. The in-laws’ confrontational behavior, documented on video, further damages their position as it can be interpreted as obstruction of justice. Their refusal to cooperate only fuels suspicion.
**Avery Parker:** An FIR has been filed against four individuals, including Subhash’s wife and her family. What are the potential legal ramifications they face?
**Jordan Reed:** The charges related to abetment to suicide are serious and carry important penalties. Depending on the evidence presented, they could face imprisonment and significant fines. The aggressive behavior displayed in the video could be used as additional evidence against them, even if it doesn’t directly prove involvement in the suicide itself. their actions could lead to additional charges for obstruction of justice or contempt of court.
