What Did Atul Subhash Say Before His Suicide?

He also mentioned that in 2022, his wife filed a case against him, his parents, and his brother, accusing them of serious charges like murder, dowry harassment, and unnatural sex, though she later withdrew the case.
Atul Subhash Accuses Judge of Corruption
Atul also accused a family court judge in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, of taking bribes from people with cases in her court. He claimed that when he went to court, the judge asked him to settle the case and that his wife had initially demanded Rs 1 crore, later increasing the demand to Rs 3 crore.
When Atul told the judge that his wife had filed false cases, the judge allegedly ignored his complaint and said, “So what? She is your wife, and this is common.” Atul further claimed that when he pointed out that many people die because of false cases, his wife reportedly said, “Why don’t you do the same?” The judge is also accused of asking for a Rs 5 lakh bribe to settle the case.
This incident highlights the severe consequences of unresolved marital issues and mental health struggles. Authorities are encouraging individuals facing emotional distress to reach out for help and support.
Here’s How Netizens Reacted

SMT. REETA KAUSHIK is the judge who destroyed the life of this innocent man. What are the procedures people can take against unhuman judges like this lady?
She should be tried legally and be put behind bars immediately. @indSupremeCourt https://t.co/8eqJRd3STr pic.twitter.com/JmMNN0xwbA

True gender equality requires neutral and just laws. Misuse of pro-women laws by a few undermines their intent and fairness. Addressing these issues is crucial to ensuring justice for everyone and building trust in the legal system. Neutrality is the key to progress.

Unless we ask our lawmakers to change the laws, it wont change.. why we are not asking for these changes yet, is surprising.
Police and judiciary will only follow the set laws.
