Atul Subhash was found dead in his apartment on Monday, December 9. The 34-year-old Bengaluru-based tech professional left behind an hour-long video and a 23-page suicide note accusing his wife, Nikita Singhania, an Accenture employee, of constant harassment and extortion. His tragic death has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many users demanding that Accenture terminate Nikita Singhania‘s employment. In response to the growing social media backlash, Accenture locked its X (formerly known asTwitter) account profile.
In a latest, Accenture’s CEO, Julie Sweet, has also locked her X profile. Clicking on Julie Sweet‘s profile now displays the message: “These posts are protected. Only approved followers can see @JulieSweet’s posts. To request access, click Follow.” This indicates that her account is restricted to approved followers, likely due to the ongoing controversy and harassment on the platform.
