Bengaluru techie suicide: #JusticeForAtulSubhash ignites uproar as men share heart-wrenching stories

After Bengaluru-based engineer Atul Subhash committed suicide by hanging himself at his house, the hashtag #JusticeForAtulSubhash began trending on social media and is currently the top trend in the country. As calls for justice for the 34-year-old escalate, many people have come forward to share their own traumatic experiences.

Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj, a journalist and men's rights activist released a plethora of heartbreaking messages from her inbox, illustrating the numerous requests for assistance she has received.

"I am getting suicidal thoughts"

One man, whose wife had filed a dowry case against him, approached Bhardwaj in distress. ¡°Next, I am in that situation, ma¡¯am. My wife filed divorce and dowry case separately. When I filed AB for a dowry case, the judge did not listen to my words. She is asking to give the house to my wife which was my parents¡¯ house, which is their only property and is not in my name."

Me and my team @ekamnyaay try to respond to as many men as we can every single day but we are feeling totally lost right now as campaign #JusticeForAtulSubhash has created a storm & endless men are reaching out to us with stories more painful than the other

"Thought to commit suicide at one stage"

Bhardwaj posted many screenshots with the caption, "#Mentoo". In the screenshot the man cried, "Not to seek attention or anything! Nor do I expect anything from anyone anymore! Just wanted to remind you that I am one of those many Atul Subhash out there who would have thought to commit suicide at one stage of their legal terror striken days! Some cannot due to old age parents responsibility, some do, however!"

"I don't want to commit suicide"

Another man pleaded, "I am also facing similar kind of court case like Atul. I am separated from my wife from last 5 years and I am contesting false case from last 2 year. 3 year back my wife her brother asked me for 1 crore. Now they have put maintenance case where she is saying that she won't give divorce and she need monthly maintenance too[sic]."

Further adding, "I have 8 year of daughter and my wife has brainwashed little kid that I am a bad father . I don't want to commit suicide because I have 77-75 year old parents and they are dependent on me[sic]."

"My brother was also driven to take his own life"

Meanwhile, another story came to light where a man posted about his brother. "Like Atul Subhash, my brother was also driven to take his own life due to unbearable harassment by his wife, Shikha Awasthi. On December 27, 2023, he committed suicide, unable to bear her cruelty anymore," the post read.
