The tragic suicide of engineer Atul Subhash from Jaunpur has left the nation stunned. Before his death, Atul left a 24-page note and recorded a gripping 90-minute video where he pointed fingers at his wife and in-laws, blaming them for his demise. He courageously criticized the country's judiciary, police, and the neglect of men's rights within the legal system. Additionally, he accused a family court judge in Jaunpur of serious misconduct.
Atul held his wife accountable, claiming she initially demanded 10 million rupees for settlement, which later inflated to 30 million. He lamented being barred from even seeing his son. Following his father-in-law's death post-wedding, his in-laws even lodged an FIR accusing him of murder. According to Atul, the family court judge demanded a bribe of 500,000 rupees for case settlement, laughing off his wife's suggestion that he commit suicide.
What Did Atul Say About the Judge?
In his video, Atul accused a Jaunpur judge of harassment and bribery. He alleged that even the court clerk required bribes for dates and claimed the principal judge pressured him to pay 30 million rupees in maintenance, later demanding an additional 500,000 rupees bribe. He was assured of case closure by December.
Atul's Remarks on the Courts and Police
Atul stated, "It seems dying is better than pouring my hard-earned money into empowering my enemies. My earnings are spent ruining me. My taxes support a system tormenting me and my kind. If I am gone, there will be no money or reasons to trouble my family."

Exhausted With Endless Court Dates...
In his final video, Atul shared receiving 120 court dates, making 40 trips from Bengaluru to Jaunpur himself, with his parents and brother also bogged down by court visits. With only 23 annual leaves, he questioned the feasibility of battling court cases.
Final Plea Before Ash Immersion...
Atul demanded in his video that his ashes should not be immersed until those tormenting him face justice. If the court denies punishment despite evidence, he implored that his ashes be tossed into the court's gutter, pleading the judiciary not to harass his family.
Atul on His Son
According to Atul, his wife didn't allow him to meet their four-and-a-half-year-old son. Before his death, Atul left a gift for his son set to be opened when he turns 18 in 2038. His final wish was for his wife to hand their son to his parents, ensuring he grows up with good values, raised by his esteemed grandparents.

Atul's Father's Statement
Atul's father, Pawan Kumar, stated, "He mentioned that the mediators in the court were not adhering to legal protocols, even avoiding Supreme Court guidelines. He had to travel from Bengaluru to Jaunpur at least 40 times due to endless accusations by his wife. He was disheartened but never showed it. Around 1 AM, he sent a mail to our younger son detailing the accusations against his wife and her family. It's true that his wife and her family made endless allegations. The stress he was under is unimaginable."
