NEW DELHI: The mother of the Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, who died by suicide, fainted at the Patna airport on Wednesday while speaking to the reporters.
In the video shared by news agency PTI, she was seen lying on the ground. She fainted while crying inconsolably after arriving at the Patna Airport as her husband spoke to the reporters.
Just before falling unconscious, she was heard saying “get my son justice” while crying unconsolably.
“Our judicial system is so weak… my son has told everything. He was tortured a lot, and we were not aware that he was so sad,” Subhash’s father told reporters.
The 34-year-old techie, who worked for a private firm in Bengaluru, had left behind a 24-page purported death note, detailing the alleged years-long emotional distress of marital issues, multiple cases filed against him and harassment by his wife, her relatives, and a judge based in Uttar Pradesh, police said.
Subhash’s body was found hanging at his residence in the Manjunath Layout area on Monday. A placard reading “Justice is due” was found in the room where he allegedly ended his life.
Before taking to the extreme step, he recorded an over 80-minute video on Rumble, explaining the circumstances behind his decision.
In the video, which has now gone viral on social media platforms, Subhash can be heard saying, “I feel that I should kill myself because the money I earn is making my enemies stronger. That same money will be used to destroy me, and this cycle will keep going.”
Meanwhile, an FIR has been filed against the wife and her family in the case.
“His wife and her family members demanded money from him to settle this issue and harassed him. For those reasons, he died by suicide. Based on this complaint, we registered an FIR against the accused. An investigation is underway,” Deputy commissioner of police, Whitefield told ANI.
