Bengaluru Techie Murders Wife, Hides Body in Suitcase Before Suicide Attempt

March 28, 2025, 3:43 pm

A 36-year-old IT professional in Bengaluru reportedly killed his wife, put her body in a suitcase, and escaped to Pune, where he later tried to commit suicide. The incident was shocking in the Doddakannahalli locality of Bengaluru.

Argument Between Couple Turns Fatal

The accused, Rakesh Rajendra Khedekar, and the victim, 32-year-old Gauri Anil Sambekar, were both from Maharashtra and had been residing in Bengaluru for a year. According to reports, the couple was having dinner on Wednesday evening when a fight turned ugly. Gauri had thrown a knife at Rakesh, wounding him, reports say. In revenge, Rakesh is said to have attacked her with the same knife, murdering her on the spot.

Body Found Stuffed in Suitcase

The gruesome crime was discovered on Thursday when the house owner found Gauri’s body packed inside a suitcase and alerted the police. According to forensic reports, Gauri had multiple stab wounds on her neck and abdomen. The body was also dismembered into eight to ten pieces before being concealed.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South East) Sarah Fathima confirmed, “The couple was from Maharashtra and had moved to Bengaluru a year back. The owner of the house called the police control room when he found the body in the suitcase. The accused was employed in a private company and was working from home.”

Confession and Suicide Attempt

After committing the crime, Rakesh allegedly called Gauri’s parents and confessed. Alarmed by the call, they immediately informed the Maharashtra police, who then alerted their Bengaluru counterparts. Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayanand stated, “Matrimonial discord seems to be the primary reason behind the murder.”

After the killing, Rakesh escaped to Pune and was traced through cyber surveillance and call records. He was found unconscious after taking poison in what appeared to be a suicide attempt. He is being treated in a hospital in Pune. A police team from Bengaluru will accompany him back when his health improves.

Bengaluru Techie :Judge Laughed When Wife Told Atul to Commit Suicide if He Couldn’t Pay, Claims Uncle

December 12, 2024, 2:18 pm

A 34-year-old techie, Subhash Atul, allegedly died by suicide in Bengaluru, prompting his family to seek justice and demand strict action against those they accuse of harassing him. The deceased, who worked for a private firm in the city, reportedly left behind a 24-page death note detailing years of alleged emotional distress due to marital discord, multiple legal cases filed against him, and alleged harassment by his wife, her family, and a judge in Uttar Pradesh.

“Justice is Due”: Techie’s Desperate Plea Before Taking His Life

Subhash’s body was discovered hanging in his residence at Manjunath Layout, under Marathahalli police station limits, on Monday. In the room where he allegedly died by suicide, police found a placard reading “Justice is due.” Before taking the extreme step, Subhash recorded an 80-minute video on Rumble, explaining his decision. The video has since gone viral on social media platforms.

Subhash’s brother, Bikas, stated, “I want my brother to get justice. I want this country to have a legal process through which even men can get justice. I want strict action against those who are sitting on a legal chair and doing corruption because if this continues then how will people expect justice.” Bikas raised concerns about corruption within the legal system, emphasizing that justice can only be achieved in a system free from corruption, where every party is heard, and arguments are based on facts.

Estranged Wife and In-Laws Accused of Harassment

Subhash’s uncle, Pawan Kumar, claimed his nephew was being harassed and tortured for money, alleging that he was also humiliated by his wife and the judge. “What has happened is very unfortunate. He was losing the case (filed by his wife). He was being tortured. They (wife and family) were constantly demanding money from him. To the best of his capacity, he was giving her money for child maintenance,” Kumar said.

Kumar revealed that Subhash’s wife had told him to commit suicide if he couldn’t pay the amount demanded by her, to which the judge allegedly laughed. “His wife even said that he should commit suicide if he cannot pay the amount to which the judge also laughed. This really hurt him,” Kumar alleged.

A police team investigating the case has reached Uttar Pradesh to question Subhash’s wife and her family members. “We are looking into all the allegations and the matter is being investigated from all angles,” said a senior police officer. Preliminary investigations by police revealed that Subhash had been experiencing marital discord with his wife, who had also filed a case against him in Uttar Pradesh.

Atul’s tragic death has highlighted issues of alleged misuse of legal systems and familial harassment. The authorities are under pressure to ensure a thorough and fair investigation to deliver justice to Atul’s family.

Supreme Court Warns of Misuse of Cruelty Law in Marital Cases

December 11, 2024, 1:47 pm

The Supreme Court recently addressed concerns about misusing the cruelty law in marital disputes. This came after the tragic death of a Bengaluru techie, who allegedly faced harassment from his wife and in-laws. In a separate case, the court warned that the cruelty law should not be used as a “personal tool to unleash vendetta” in disputes between spouses.

Misuse of the Cruelty Law

The court explained that Section 498(A) was created to protect women from cruelty by their husbands and in-laws. “Section 498(A) was introduced to stop the cruelty inflicted on a woman by her husband and his family, through swift intervention by the state,” stated Justices BV Nagarathna and N Kotiswar Singh. However, recent trends in marital disputes show a growing misuse of this provision.

Section 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has now been abolished. It has been replaced by Section 86 in the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which covers similar crimes. Under Section 86, offenders may face up to three years in prison and a fine.

Rising Misuse of the Law

Moreover, the judges highlighted that marital disputes have been increasing across the country. As a result, there has been a rise in the misuse of Section 498(A). In some instances, women have used it to take personal revenge on their husbands and in-laws.

Additionally, the bench pointed out that vague or generalized allegations could lead to the misuse of legal processes. This, in turn, may encourage “arm-twisting tactics” by the wife and her family.

Court’s Ruling

In light of these concerns, the court set aside a cruelty case filed by a wife against her husband and his family. While the Telangana High Court had previously refused to dismiss the case, the Supreme Court stressed the need to ensure that legal provisions are used fairly, not for personal revenge.

Bengaluru Techie Atul Subhash ‘Dump My Ashes In Gutter Outside Court If My Harassers Are Not Punished’ | WATCH

December 10, 2024, 1:00 pm

In a shocking incident that has stunned the nation, a techie from Uttar Pradesh, Atul Subhash, who was 34 years old, committed suicide in his residence in Bengaluru on Monday. The reasons for his death have raised widespread anger since he had left behind an extensive suicide note and a terrifying last video in which he alleged harassment, false accusations, and judicial injustice by his wife and her family.

The Last Video and Wishes

Before ending his life, Atul had recorded a four-minute video in which he was explaining all the emotional and mental torture he was undergoing. He appealed for justice to both himself and his family members in his video. In it, he mentioned that his final wishes were such that he should not be scattered till the alleged harassers are taken into law. If this did not happen, he wished that his ashes be put in the gutter outside the courthouse as a symbolic protest.

In the video, Atul also made an emotional appeal about his minor child, stating that since his wife confessed that she was not able to raise him, then his parents and brother should be able to care for the child. Atul specifically requested that his wife and her relatives should not be allowed to touch his body after he dies, and that his family should only meet them in public places under surveillance if need be.

Accusations of Harassment and Legal Battles

Atul’s death note, which he sent through email and to an NGO group on WhatsApp, revealed that he had been facing marital issues for some time. His wife had reportedly filed a domestic violence case against him in Uttar Pradesh, adding to his mounting distress. Atul accused his wife, her family, and even a judge named Madhav of framing him with false allegations. He condemned the judicial system, stating that he wouldfile complaints against some of the judges who had dealt with him unfairly.

He also described his utter disappointment with the judiciary, saying that his life had been destroyed by the same institutions that were supposed to protect him.

The Incident and Police Investigation

Atul Subhash’s tragic death occurred at his home in Manjunath Layout, located within the Marathahalli police station limits. Before taking the drastic step, Atul left behind a placard that read “Justice is due,” highlighting his despair over the lack of justice in his case.

According to the reports from Bengaluru police, Atul was facing extreme stress because of the ongoing legal and family problems. His last acts appeared to be a sense of resignation and a desperate call for justice.

The police are now taking up the case, with a senior officer stating that a formal complaint will be lodged once Atul‘s family is brought into the process. The authorities are now very cautiously going through the allegations made in the suicide note and video, as well as all other related evidence, to determine the full circumstances of his death.

Public Outcry and Social Media Attention

The final message from Atul has gone viral on social media, with netizens outrage and sparking discussions about the plight of individuals within the judicial and legal systems. #JusticeForAtulSubhash is trending, with many being angry over the apparent failure of the legal system to redress his complaints and the harassment he faced from his family.

This has brought attention to those often-neglected mental health difficulties and injustices the people involved in very complicated family and legal disputes often face.

In many ways, the case brings up other pressing questions about the ability to intervene before the final tragic outcome. Atul’s death has reminded one of the vicious cycle of legal battles, harassment, and the toll of emotional trauma that can be the outcome of a legal battle and the need for reform within both legal and social systems.

Atul Subhash’s 40-Page Suicide Note And Video Goes Viral: #JusticeForAtulSubhash Is Trending | WATCH

December 10, 2024, 12:46 pm

An incident that took place in Bengaluru has caused shock all over. It was the end to the life of a 34-year-old tech professional Atul Subhash, who apparently killed himself. He did so after writing a chilling suicide note and shooting a video accusing his wife and her family, as also a judicial officer of driving him to take such a extreme step. His online posts and video, however, which he had written and uploaded before killing himself have started the trending hashtag on social media platforms, namely, #JusticeForAtulSubhash.

Atul Subhash’s Heartbreaking Final Message

In a shocking post on X, Atul Subhash declared he wanted to kill himself. “They have been harassing me for my money and more by means of extortion and corruption,” Atul posted on X, sharing his suicide note that asserted he was doing it because he was in a right-minded condition and had named five as the “guilty”. On this list are the names of his wife and her family besides Principal Family Court Judge Rita Kaushik in Uttar Pradesh.

In the video Atul recorded shortly before his death, he expressed his pain and despair, blaming his wife and her family for the emotional and mental trauma he had been suffering. This video has gone viral and left many viewers shocked and stunned at the circumstances surrounding his tragic end.

Marital Discord and Legal Struggles

Reports state that Atul Subhash had been having a very bad marriage with his wife, for whom he had previously filed a case of domestic violence in Uttar Pradesh. In his video and a 40-page suicide note, Atul wrote that he had multiple legal cases initiated against him, which brought him to this edge. He blames his wife and her family for emotional distress.

Despite his wife working at Accenture and earning her own salary, Atul claimed that she continued to demand excessive amounts of money, which led to further tensions in their marriage. It was already known that she was receiving ₹40,000 a month as maintenance, but her further demands for ₹2-4 lakhs pushed Atul into a corner.

Public Outrage and Demand for Justice

Since the news of this horrific incident broke out, the citizens of thesocial media are demanding justice for Atul Subhash. #JusticeForAtulSubhash has been trending. People have expressedtheir sympathy and frustration with the apparent failure of the Indian legal system to protect the men in such situations.

Some of the most notable persons who have spoken about this incident include the author Shefali Vaidya and YouTuber Akassh Ashok Gupta. According to Vaidya, Atul was a man “resigned to his fate.” She criticised the Indian legal system for not doing enough to save Atul. According toGupta, the same system which has its inequities is the one that can make an Atul walk into his death.

Atul’s Last Wishes and Inquiry

Before ending his life, Atul Subhash made a last wish in his note, requesting an NGO to take care of his elderly parents, whom he said would require care after his death. The case is being investigated by Marathahalli Police Station. It has also been confirmed that a placard reading “Justice is Due” was found in Atul’s room.

Atul’s death has sparked a much bigger debate on the challenges ofmen in troubled marriages and the perceived imbalance in India’s family law system. It has brought to the fore the emotional and psychological cost of legal battles, especially for those who feel they are caught in an unfair system.

The tragic death of Atul Subhash reminds one starkly of the deep emotional distress which conflicts at the legal and personal levels can inflict on a human being. The investigations are continuing, but this case has already unleashed a string of important social media discussions about justice, mental health, and the need for change in law to prevent such heartbreaking incidents in the future.

The death of Atul has only created a void in his family, but the din ofcalls for accountability and justice in the case continues across socialmedia. For many demanding change the way such matters are handled within the legal system, #JusticeForAtulSubhash is the rallying call.

Bengaluru Techie Shares Google Job’s Pros and Cons

December 8, 2024, 12:25 pm

Raj Vikramaditya, Bengaluru-based software engineer, shared his thoughts on three years spent at Google. The post gained over 97,000 views on X (formerly Twitter). Vikramaditya, also known as ‘Striver,’ noted the benefits and disadvantages of working at the tech company.

Advantages: Work-Life Balance and Benefits

Vikramaditya praised Google’s exceptional WLB, writing, “They take care of almost everything you can think of—food, gym, spa, trips, parties.” He stressed the importance of employee good will:.

He also praised the quality of Google’s codebase, saying, “Once you dive into it, you’re in awe of the quality, design, and overall architecture.” For him, being surrounded by top-tier talent at Google was an inspiring and motivating factor: “Being around such talent is inspiring.”

Vikramaditya also added that there are financial and non-financial benefits, like extra pay for on-call shifts, peer and spot bonuses, and access to excellent internal tools. He also praised the company’s well-maintained documentation, which facilitates smooth team transitions.

Challenges Faced: Slow Approvals and Limited Scope

However, on the flip side, Vikramaditya also found some drawbacks of working at Google. One such issue was slow approval processes, which he understood as a necessary risk-aversion measure of a large company.

He also mentioned that a “limited scope” is quite common for employees, mainly because most teams do not develop end-to-end features and many pieces of infrastructure are pre-built. This makes it not so steep of a learning curve unless you are one of the core teams. Finally, Vikramaditya mentioned that switching teams is tough and promotions are as well. The work done by a team usually does not add up to promotions in other teams, so in those teams, the promotion cycle tends to be slower.

Bengaluru Techie Aims to Create Pothole-Tracking App; Netizens Suggest Creative Name “Potluru”!

October 22, 2024, 9:12 pm

India’s Silicon Valley, Bengaluru, is grappling with the dual challenges of heavy rainfall and potholes, impacting the city’s residents and infrastructure. In light of the ongoing pothole crisis, a techie has proposed an innovative solution—developing an app to allow users to rate and review potholes.

Siva Narayanan, co-founder of expense management software Fyle, shared his idea on X (formerly Twitter), inviting collaboration from others who are interested.

Planning to build an app where we can rate and review potholes in Bengaluru. I recently saw a 7-star pothole and felt sad that it wasn't getting the recognition it deserved.

Who's in?

— Siva Narayanan (@K2_181) October 21, 2024

“Planning to build an app where we can rate and review potholes in Bengaluru. I recently saw a 7-star pothole and felt sad that it wasn’t getting the recognition it deserved. Who’s in?” Narayanan wrote. “This has kind of taken off. I don’t have anything to plug… Except maybe some potholes.”

After the techie’s pitch, netizens quickly weighed in with their reactions. While some joked about the concept, others provided constructive suggestions.

“Name it potluru,” a user proposed. Another user offered assistance, saying, “Let me know… if you need any help as well… will be happy to contribute! (sic)” One suggestion was to create “an overlay on potholes and post it to socials—something like GPS Camera—stamp app.”

Commenting on the humor of the situation, a netizen noted, “Your 7-star pothole can’t beat the sinkhole on the ORR service road near my place. The venerated monument has been duly marked by a tree branch in typical ‘luru style. I am going to hype it so much, the Ejipura Stonehenge is going to cry for attention.”

Another user chimed in with ideas like, “Wow…!! Can we also add ‘Pothole of the month’ feature and link the star rating with ‘tire damage ability’ of the pothole (sic)?” A suggestion for a “pothole selfie dhamaka” was made, with plans for daily uploads of the same spot, offering a gift hamper for the longest unfilled pothole.

One user humorously stated, “Not only in Bengaluru; however, we should collectively name all the potholes in the country as one. You know ‘unity in diversity.’ This will help in linking all the potholes to Aadhaar Cards of the residents living in that area or we can make Aadhaar Cards for potholes too.”

Others encouraged Narayanan to expand the app to different cities, emphasizing that there are many hidden “7-star gems” across the country. Requests poured in for similar solutions in places like Gurgaon and Mumbai, highlighting the widespread issue of potholes beyond Bengaluru.

Bengaluru Techie Works At Momo Stall: ‘His Priorities Are Sorted’

August 12, 2024, 3:19 pm

The image of a man working on his laptop while waiting outside a food stall has ignited a broader discussion about the priorities of tech professionals. In Bengaluru, India’s tech hub, it’s almost expected to see young professionals working in unconventional settings.

X user Kritika Kumari shared a photo of the techie working on his laptop outside a momo shop, commenting, “His priorities are sorted.”

The image prompted a wave of humorous reactions and jokes about corporate employees. One X user quipped, “Kicking bug out from his code,” while another simply described the scene as “Corporate employee.” D Shivsagar commented, “Corporates teach privacy protection and data protection… sab gaya pani me (Corporates teach privacy protection and data protection, he has discarded all of that).”

Some users imagined funny scenarios to explain why the techie was using his laptop at a roadside food stall. Siddhant Prateek joked, “kuch nhi phone office mein bhul gaya h, toh Momos wale ko Net Banking se money transfer kr raha hai (He forgot his phone in office. Now he’s transferring money to the momo shop owner through net banking).” Another added, “Maybe he lost his phone while traveling. So he is ordering the food using laptop.”

This incident is not the most unusual place techies have been spotted working. In March, a photo of a man using his laptop inside a theater in Bengaluru sparked a conversation about work-life balance. Similarly, that month saw a viral image of someone attending a video call while driving a two-wheeler in the Silicon Valley of India.

Bengaluru Techie Reveals Water Leakage From Ceiling In Rs. 1.5 Crore Apartment

August 6, 2024, 12:27 pm

A Bengaluru techie has criticized the city’s soaring real estate prices after sharing a photo of water leaking into his room. X user Ripudaman revealed that his room in a ₹1.5 crore apartment started experiencing ceiling leaks. The image, taken from his unit on the fifth or sixth floor, shows noticeable dampness on the ceiling.

Ripudaman, a 22-year-old software engineer, expressed his frustration, noting that the apartment’s high price did not reflect the quality of construction. He remarked on X that the high cost of these buildings feels like a scam and expressed disbelief as a civil engineer at the poor construction quality.

“My room in 1.5CR apartment 5th/16th floor is leaking water,” wrote Ripudaman, who describes himself as a 22-year-old software engineer in his X bio. “These expensive buildings are such a scam bro! The civil engineer inside me can’t comprehend this,” he added

— Ripudaman (@mrtechsense) August 4, 2024

The post has gained significant attention on X, with many users joining in to criticize the shoddy construction. Some users suggested that the actual construction cost might have been much lower than the market price, with one user pointing out that the leak could be originating from the floor above. They advised Ripudaman to investigate further, as unresolved leaks from upper floors can cause persistent issues.

Many commenters voiced their dissatisfaction with Bengaluru’s real estate market, arguing that the construction quality often fails to justify the high prices. Some users recommended that a standalone home built under personal supervision would be a better investment compared to expensive, high-floor apartments with inferior construction quality. Others highlighted that the premium price for these apartments often covers only the location, brand, and amenities, not the actual construction quality.

The photo was shared amidst heavy rainfall in Bengaluru, which has led to severe traffic congestion and waterlogged roads throughout the city.
