After the tragic suicide of 34-year-old Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, allegations of a cover-up have emerged as several crucial files from a Google Drive link he shared before his death have mysteriously vanished. Among the missing documents are a 24-page suicide note and a letter titled “To Milords,” which criticized the justice system.
While law enforcement authorities have yet to comment on the situation, social media users have raised concerns about a potential cover-up, claiming that the disappearance of these files is an attempt to destroy evidence in a case that has captured national attention and sparked widespread outrage. The shared Google Drive currently contains a poem titled “Death Knows No Fear,” a letter addressed to the President, and a declaration in which Atul stated he was “not guilty” of any charges leveled against him by his estranged wife, Nikita. These files were previously available as well.
Numerous social media posts have alleged a “clean-up” operation to eliminate evidence and have called on the Bengaluru police to investigate the matter. Some users, who had saved the files before their disappearance, have re-shared them across various platforms for public access. There are also accusations that law enforcement authorities may have pressured Google to remove the files from Atul’s shared drive. As of now, neither the police nor Google has responded to these claims.
Atul Subhash was found dead in his Bengaluru home last Monday, with a detailed note stating “justice is due” discovered at the scene. Prior to his death, he had shared the note and other materials in a publicly accessible Google Drive and recorded an 80-minute video detailing his long and arduous legal battle.
In his statements, Atul accused his estranged wife Nikita, her mother Nisha Singhania, brother Anurag Singhania, and uncle Sushil Singhania of harassment and extortion. He claimed that Nikita had filed false cruelty charges against him and his family, demanding a settlement of ₹3 crore. Atul alleged that she used their four-year-old son to extort money from him, and despite a court order for him to pay ₹80,000 monthly in maintenance, she sought ₹2 lakh instead. He also criticized the justice system, alleging bias against men in such cases.
Following Atul’s death, his brother Bikas Kumar filed a case of abetment to suicide. Nikita, her mother Nisha, and brother Anurag have been arrested, while their uncle Sushil remains at large. The three accused were presented in court and have been remanded to judicial custody for two weeks.
Atul’s family is now demanding to know the whereabouts of his son and has called for the child to be handed over to them.
