Experts highlight challenges in proving abetment to suicide in Bengaluru techie case; low conviction rates persist

BENGALURU: While the police have registered abetment to suicide charges against the accused in the Atul Subhash suicide case, experts opine that proving abetment to suicide cases is a very difficult task. Bengaluru has seen 388 abetment to suicide cases in the last three years, yet the conviction rate remains at an alarming 0. According to the data, 116 cases have been registered in 2024 (up to December), with 44 cases pending trial and 72 under investigation. In 2023 and 2022, 133 and 139 cases were registered, respectively. Atul Subhash (34), a techie, died by suicide in Bengaluru on December 9. He had left behind a 24-page suicide note, a 90-minute video, and a checklist accusing his wife and in-laws of harassment. While his wife, Nikita Singhania, was arrested from Gurugram, Haryana, her mother, Nisha, and brother, Anurag, were picked up from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Abetment to suicide is an offense under Section 106 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which states that if someone abets, entices, or compels another person to commit suicide, they can be punished. This section previously fell under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The punishment for this crime is up to 10 years of imprisonment and a fine. Speaking to The New Indian Express, senior advocate Rajalaxmi Ankalagi said that in abetment to suicide cases, it is crucial to first determine whether the victims decision to end his or her life was based on personal perception or real circumstances. Most abetment to suicide cases involve victims who were subjected to harassment, torture, or mental pressure, Ankalagi said. In some cases, such as dowry and harassment-related deaths, family members of the victim often file a complaint alleging abetment to suicide against the in-laws. In extreme cases, the matter becomes far more serious. The reason behind such an extreme step could be psychological, suicidal tendencies, or unbearable torture. If the suicide is due to torture or harassment, the allegations must be direct, substantial enough to frame a person for abetment, and corroborated by cogent evidence to secure a conviction, she said. Ankalagi further added that in abetment to suicide cases, most of the time it is only circumstantial evidence available, which makes trial difficult. Allegations should be direct, coherent, and supported by strong evidence; only then can a conviction be secured. Cases supported by video recordings, statements, or death notes are often proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Even in these cases, if the intention is not proved, it is fatal for investigation, she added. Ankalagi remarked that the lack of convictions in such cases is atrocious. She noted that cases with collaborative evidence, including death notes and video statements, should result in convictions, while other cases lacking concrete evidence may lead to acquittals. Former Director General and Inspector General of Police S T Ramesh said that abetment to suicide means that someone contributed for causing another persons suicide. Abetment, by nature, is similar to conspiracy. However, proving abetment cases is challenging, much like conspiracy cases, as they require strong evidence. Often, individuals who commit suicide may not leave sufficient evidence behind, he said. Ramesh explained that the evidence in such cases may be oral, but oral evidence alone is often insufficient. If there is proper documentary evidence, it strengthens the case. Even circumstantial evidence can be challenging to prove. On the other hand, medical and forensic evidence can be very compelling, he added. Ramesh elaborated on the difficulty of proving abetment to suicide cases. The primary reason is the lack of strong evidence in such cases. A suicide note, for instance, may serve as a piece of evidence, similar to a dying declaration. It is based on the principletruth sits upon the lips of dying men. It is believed that someone about to die would not lie. However, a suicide note alone is not always sufficient. Multiple pieces of corroborative evidence are often required to build a strong case, he said. He further added that conviction cannot be based on a single persons statement or a single piece of evidence. Abetment to suicide is inherently difficult to prove due to a host of other reasons apart from delays in trials, a lack of concrete evidence, and witnesses turning hostile. These factors contribute to the low conviction rates in such cases, he added.

Several Delhi schools receive bomb threat; fifth incident in nine days

New Delhi: Bomb threats were received by a few schools in Delhi on Tuesday, making it the second such incident this week and the fifth in nine days in the national capital, officials said.On Monday, around 20 schools including DPS RK Puram had received threat emails. According to an official from the Delhi Fire Service (DFS), a call regarding a bomb threat was received from Crescent Public School in Saraswati Vihar, northwest Delhi. The official said that personnel from the fire department, local police, bomb detection team and dog squad conducted a search, but nothing suspicious was found so far. Some more schools have also received similar threat emails and checks are ongoing, the official added. However, schools in Delhi-NCR switched to hybrid mode for conducting classes on Tuesday, following the re-imposition of anti-pollution measures under Stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). Under the revised GRAP schedule, classes for students in grades 6-9 and 11 in Delhi, Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar must operate in hybrid mode (physical and online) under Stage 4 but students in classes 10 and 12 are required to attend school in person. On December 14, eight schools, including the same DPS RK Puram, had received a similar email, in which the sender threatened to carry out an explosion using omb vests. Earlier, on December 13, about 30 schools received bomb threats via email, prompting a multi-agency search of their premises. At least 44 schools had received similar emails on December 9. The Delhi Police Special Cell had registered an FIR in connection with the threat mail to 44 schools and initiated an investigation.

GRAP Stage 4 curbs invoked in Delhi as air quality turns severe

Data from the central pollution monitoring agency showed that concentrations of Particulate Matter or PM 10 (coarser pollutants) was over 1,600 micrograms per cubic metre compared to a safe level of 100 at around 2 am in Delhi's Anand Vihar. PM 2.5, a standard measure of air quality, was as much as 14 times the safe limit. New Delhi: The Centre's air quality panel for Delhi-NCR on Monday imposed the strictest Stage 4 curbs under the winter air pollution control plan, including a ban on all construction activities, as the region's air quality deteriorated to 'severe' due to unfavourable weather conditions.Stage 4 curbs under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) for winters also include a ban on the entry of polluting trucks carrying non-essential goods into Delhi and mandatory shifting of school classes, except those for X and XII, to hybrid mode. Delhi's 24-hour average Air Quality Index (AQI), which was 379 at 4 pm, breached the 400 mark around 10 pm amid extremely calm wind conditions and the buildup of an inversion layer, which adversely affects the vertical mixing height - the height up to which pollutants can disperse. The decision to impose Stage 4 curbs came just hours after the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) implemented restrictive measures under GRAP Stage 3, following Delhi's AQI breaching the 350 mark in the afternoon. According to the revised GRAP schedule, classes for students in grades VI-IX and XI in Delhi, Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar must operate in hybrid mode (physical and online) under Stage 4. Classes up to grade V are required to shift to hybrid mode under Stage 3. Parents and students have the option to choose online education wherever available. Stage 4 also includes a ban on all construction and demolition activities, including public projects like highways, flyovers, power lines, and pipelines. Non-essential diesel trucks are prohibited from entering Delhi. Public, municipal, and private offices must decide on allowing only 50 per cent of staff to work in offices, with the remaining staff working from home. States may consider additional measures like closing colleges, non-essential businesses and implementing odd-even vehicle restrictions. Under Stage 3, imposed earlier in the day, the use of BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel cars (4-wheelers) is restricted in Delhi and nearby NCR districts. Persons with disabilities are exempt. Stage 3 also bans non-essential diesel-operated medium goods vehicles with BS-IV or older standards in Delhi. The Delhi and NCR state governments have been asked to stagger timings for public and municipal offices under Stage 3. The Centre may consider similar measures for its offices in Delhi-NCR. During winters, Delhi enforces restrictions under GRAP, which categorises air quality into four stages Stage I (Poor, AQI 201-300), Stage II (Very Poor, AQI 301-400), Stage III (Severe, AQI 401-450), and Stage IV (Severe Plus, AQI above 450). GRAP 4 was invoked in Delhi for the first time this season in November due to consistently high pollution levels in the city and adjoining areas. The Supreme Court allowed the CAQM to relax the curbs in the first week of December after the city's air quality improved. Unfavourable meteorological conditions combined with vehicle emissions, paddy-straw burning, firecrackers and other local pollution sources lead to hazardous air quality levels in Delhi-NCR during winters. Doctors say that breathing Delhi's polluted air is equivalent to smoking approximately 10 cigarettes a day. Prolonged exposure to high pollution levels can exacerbate respiratory issues such as asthma, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, according to doctors.

HC grants anticipatory bail to Sushil Singhania in Atul Subhash suicide case

PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad High Court on Monday granted anticipatory bail to Sushil Singhania, uncle of Nikita Singhania, in the suicide case of Artificial Intelligence engineer Atul Subhash. The order was passed by Justice Ashutosh Srivastava who was hearing an anticipatory bail filed by Atul's wife Nikita Singhania and in-laws. Nikita Singhania was arrested from Gurugram, Haryana, while her mother Nisha Singhania and brother Anurag Singhania were picked up from Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj for abetting Subhash's suicide, a Bengaluru Police official said. They were arrested on Saturday morning, brought to Bengaluru and sent to 14 days judicial custody after being produced before a local court, he said. In the Allahabad High Court, senior counsel Manish Tiwary, at the very outset, submitted that the wife, mother-in-law and brother-in-law of the deceased have already been arrested by the Bengaluru City Police and the present anticipatory bail application is being pressed on behalf of the applicant Sushil Singhania alone. It was argued that the arrests have been made on the basis of alleged suicide note and a video which have gone viral over the internet. Sushil Singhania is facing the media trial of the highest level, it was argued. Bengaluru techie suicide: Atuls wife, others apply for anticipatory bail It was also submitted that Sushil Singhania is an elderly person of 69 years of age and has a chronic medical condition. He is virtually incapacitated and there is no question of him abetting the suicide, it was further submitted. It was also argued that there is a distinction between abetment and harassment and if the suicide note is taken on its face value, the allegations levelled at most would be taken to be harassment for implicating the deceased in false cases and extracting huge sums of money. In any case, the offence suicide under Section 108, 3(5) of the BNS cannot be said to be made out, it was argued. It has also been argued that the Sushil Singhania be granted protection for reasonable time so that he is in a position to place his version before the court and the authorities concerned and take recourse to remedy available to him under the law before the court in the state of Karnataka from where the FIR emanates. After hearing the counsels for the parties, the court observed, Considering the above, the court is of the opinion that applicant Sushil Singhania is entitled to get the privilege of pre-arrest (Transit) Anticipatory. Accordingly, it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicant in connection with the case crime no.0682 of 2024 under Section 108, 3(5) of the BNS, Police Station Marathahalli, Bangaluru City, he shall be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case till the submission of police report, if any under section 173 (2) CrPC on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000 with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate/Court concerned, the court said. The court also imposed some conditions like the applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required. He shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police office and he shall not leave India without the previous permission of the court. If the applicant has a passport, it shall be deposited by him before the SSP or SP concerned, the court said.

Bengaluru, Lucknow : The Bengaluru Police has arrested three people, including the estranged wife of tech executive Atul Subhash, who died by suicide recently, an official said on Sunday. Nikita Singhania was arrested from Gurugram, Haryana, while her mother Nisha Singhania and brother Anurag Singhania were picked up from Uttar Pradeshs Prayagraj for abetting Subhashs suicide, the Bengaluru Police official said. They were arrested on Saturday morning, brought to Bengaluru and sent to 14-days judicial custody after being produced before a local court, he said. A senior official from Prayagraj police on Sunday claimed that the Bengaluru Police did not inform them about the arrest of Nisha Singhania and Anuragh Singhania. Subhash, 34, was found death at his house in Munnekolalu in southeast Bengaluru on December 9. He left behind lengthy videos and notes, blaming his wife and in-laws for driving him to commit suicide through false cases and persistent torture. Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara said Subhashs wife, mother-in-law and brother-in-law have been apprehended and are in judicial custody. The investigation will follow. Addressing reporters in Bengaluru, Parameshwara said, He (Subhash) had left about a 40-page death note and he has raised several issues, most importantly about the misuse of provisions in the law that were meant for protection of women. He has said that he was pressured for Rs 3 crore and other things including cases booked against him. Noting that Subhash has raised questions about the rights of men, the minister said this has become a topic of discussion across the country, whether the law should be amended, citing womens rights are being misused. Questions are being raised, discussions are happening in the country. Probably discussions will have to happen in the days ahead about bringing changes in the laws at both state and the Centre, he added. Earlier, Nikita Singhania, her mother, brother and uncle Sushil Singhania had filed anticipatory bail pleas in the Allahabad High Court. The pleas came after the Bengaluru Police on Friday issued a summons to Nikita Singhania and asked her to appear before it within three days. On Sunday, the residences of Nikita Singhania and Sushil Singhania in Uttar Pradeshs Jaunpur appeared desolate with their main gates locked, balcony doors shut and the curtains on all windows drawn.

Will not immerse ashes of my son till we get justice: Father of Bengaluru techie who died by suicide

Samastipur (Bihar) : The father of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, who died by suicide recently, on Sunday called for strict punishment for those who harassed his son, asserting that his ashes will not be immersed till justice is served. Subhash, 34, was found hanging in his house at Bengaluru's Munnekolalu on December 9. He left behind lengthy videos and notes, blaming his wife and in-laws for driving him to suicide through false cases and persistent torture. I thank the Karnataka Police for arresting them (Subhash's estranged wife and in-laws). All those who harassed my son should be punished so that he gets justice, and his soul rests in peace. I will not immerse the ashes of my son till we get justice, Pawan Kumar told reporters here. My son was being harassed and tortured for money, and humiliated by his wife... I request Prime Minister Narendra Modi and all concerned please give us justice, he said. Subhash's estranged wife Nikita Singhania was arrested in Gurugram, Haryana, while her mother Nisha Singhania and brother Anuragh Singhania were picked up from Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj, police said on Sunday. Kumar also sought the custody of his four-year-old grandson. My son was broken from inside... Even after torture by his wife and in-laws, he didn't tell anyone about it. His suicide note also mentioned that his parents be given custody of his child, Kumar said. He said Subhash had also received a maintenance order for his son, amounting to Rs 40,000 per month. She (Subhash's estranged wife) filed several false cases against us and my son. Strict action must be taken against all those who mentally tortured my son, Kumar said. Bikas Kumar, the brother of Subhash, also spoke to mediapersons in Samastipur, demanding that the false cases registered against them be withdrawn. The others behind this incident should also be arrested. We will not get justice till all false cases registered against us are withdrawn. We will not immerse the ashes of my brother till we get justice. Our fight will continue, he asserted. I am equally concerned about my nephew (son of Subhash). His safety is a matter of serious concern for us. We have not seen him in recent photographs. I want to know his whereabouts through the media. We want his custody as early as possible, added Bikas Kumar. Earlier in the day, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said Subhash's wife, mother-in-law and brother-in-law have been apprehended and are in judicial custody. The investigation will follow.

Gurugram administration issues warning to Karan Aujla over concert conduct

Citing World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, the Gurugram district administration has issued a notice to Punjabi singer Karan Aujla, warning him against bringing children on stage during his upcoming shows in the city on 15, 17, and 19 December. The notice also prohibits the singer from performing songs that promote alcohol, drugs, or glorify violence. The notice, dated 5 December and issued by the district programme officer of the Women and Child Development Department, Gurgaon, states: This is with reference to a representation made by Panditrao Dharenavar. We hereby in advance issue notice to you for not using children on stage during the live show in Airia Mall, Sector 68, Gurugram, on 15, 17, and 19 December, because according to the World Health Organization (WHO), adults should not be exposed to sound with a peak sound pressure level above 140 dB. For children, the level is reduced to 120 dB. Therefore, children should not be used on stage during your live show where peak sound pressure level is above 120 dB, which is harmful for children. The officer further noted concerns regarding the singers repertoire, citing songs such as Adhiya, Chitta Kurts, Alcohol, Few Days, Bandook, and Gangsta. The notice adds: As cited by the representer with video evidence, Karan Aujla has songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence. Therefore, we are issuing this notice in advance to deter promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence through songs in your live show. These songs affect the children of impressionable age. Additionally, the singer has been directed to ensure that individuals below the age of 21 are not served alcohol during his shows. The notice follows a complaint by Pandit Rao Dharenavar, an assistant professor at Post Graduate Government College, Sector 46, Chandigarh. Similar notices have previously been issued to Karan Aujla and fellow Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh by the Chandigarh Administration and the Telangana Government on complaints filed by Dharenavar. In a related development, the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (MC) has imposed a penalty of Rs 1.16 crore on the organiser of Aujlas concert in Chandigarh on 7 December for the alleged illegal display of advertisements at the event venue in Sector 34. The MCs notice reads: As many as nine boards/banners/hoardings of different sizes, measuring a total area of 916 square feet, were found displayed at the Exhibition Ground of Sector 34 without prior permission from the competent authority and in violation of the Chandigarh Advertisement Control Order, 1954. As such, you are liable to pay the advertisement fees, along with a penalty due to this violation. You are therefore directed to deposit Rs 1,15,60,191 on account of advertisement fee, penalty, interest, and GST. You are directed to pay the amount by 17 December, failing which action as per prevailing rules/law shall be taken. If the amount is not paid within the stipulated period, interest of 18 per cent per annum, compounded annually on advertisement fee and penalty, shall be charged. As per Clause Number 4 of the Chandigarh Advertisement Control Order, 1954, no person can, without the written permission of the chief administrator, erect, exhibit, fix, or retain any advertisement upon any land, building, wall, hoarding, or structure.

IAS Ashok Khemka posted as Additional Chief Secretary of Transport, Haryana

CHANDIGARH: 1991-batch IAS officer Ashok Khemka, known for his uprightness during his 33-year-long career in which he was transferred 57 times, has been posted as Additional Chief Secretary of Transport. Khemka, who will retire on April 30 next year, has replaced 1994-batch IPS officer Navdeep Virk. Khemka has returned to the transport department, overseen by Anil Vij, transport minister of the state; ten years ago, he had been posted as transport commissioner during the first term of the then BJP government with Manohar Lal Khattar as Chief Minister. When Khemka was the state transport commissioner, he refused to issue fitness certificates to oversized trucks and trailers for transporting automobiles and white goods leading to a truckers' strike. Then the state government gave them one year to get their vehicles modified according to the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR), 1989 after which they then withdrew their strike. He served in the department for only four months. Last year, Khemka sent a letter to the then Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and offered to oot out corruption with a stint in the vigilance department, writing that he had sacrificed his service career in his zeal to end corruption. Towards the end of my service career, I offer my services to head the vigilance department to root out corruption. If given an opportunity, I assure you there would be a real war against corruption and no one, however high and mighty, will be spared, he then wrote. He came to the limelight in 2012 when he cancelled the mutation of a Gurugram land deal linked to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra. On Sunday, the Haryana government effected a major administrative shake-up by transferring 44 IAS officers, including administrative secretaries of several departments. In the last decade, Khemka has been posted in departments, considered low profile. Over his entire career, on average, he has been transferred about every six months.
