During interrogation, Nikita claimed she didn’t harass her husband; instead, she was harassed by him. She claimed she was staying away from him for almost three years. If she harassed him for money, why would she stay away from him, she was quoted as saying. “We will investigate the case thoroughly and file a chargesheet in court if the allegations made by Atul are proved,” the officer added.
Marathahalli police have registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 108 (3) and (5) – (abetment to suicide) — based on the complaint filed by Atul’s younger brother, Bikas Kumar, on December 9. As the case became sensational, the police team spread across three states, including UP and Delhi.
According to police probing Atul’s case, he left a four-page handwritten death note. About 44 pages were typed in a system. The total pages of the death note found by the police are around 48 pages. The video is around 90 minutes.
A senior police officer said the rumours about the Google Drive link of Atul’s suicide missing are false. “Our team investigating the case, along with the Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) team, seized all devices and the handwritten death note from Atul’s flat in Manjunatha Layout in Munekollala. The documents have been sealed and produced before the court,” he added.
“There are also rumours about Atul’s search history on internet. We agree has he searched for a few things, but we are not yet sure what exactly he has searched for and for how many days. We have got permission from the court to open the seizures made. We have to send them to the forensic sciences laboratory (FSL) and get a report; only then can we confirm it,” a senior officer said.
