The suicide note, partly written and partly typed, accuses his wife, Nikita Singhania, an employee at Accenture, of filing false cases against him. Subhash described the immense emotional distress caused by nine police complaints, which included severe allegations such as murder, dowry harassment, and unnatural sex. He also expressed pain over how their four-year-old son was used as a tool to demand maintenance, further increasing his suffering.
One prominent case mentioned in the note involved murder charges filed against Subhash for the death of his father-in-law in 2019. Nikita had alleged that her father died of shock after Subhash’s family demanded a dowry of ₹10 lakh. However, during cross-examination, Nikita admitted that the murder charges were false and that her father had died due to a heart-related ailment.
