Atul Subhash Case: Father of deceased techie Atul Subhash on Sunday said that his wife, Nikita Singhania, Nisha Singhania, and brother-in-law Anurag Singhania should not have been granted bail. Pawan Kumar Modi, the deceased's father, said that though the bail was provided under legal process, this should not have happened as they are still worried about their grandson. 

"Bail has been granted to them under legal process, but they shouldn't have been granted bail. I am really worried about my grandson and where he is. We have received information from the Karnataka Police about our grandson that he is in a boarding school in Faridabad... he has been admitted to the school at a very young age which is illegal. The mother has no love for her child. She is just using him as an ATM to extort money," Modi told reporters.

He added that the woman had applied for the bail, stating that she needed to take care of the child. However, he claimed that the woman did not care about the child, and her only concern was money. "The mother used the child as a reason to apply for her bail. She has done this before as well...the school had winter vacations but my grandson still wasn't sent back to me. Was the school not aware that the child was being used by the mother?" he added.

The bail to the wife, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law of late Atul Subhash was granted by Bengaluru's Civil Court on January 4. The alleged accused in the case--Nikita Singhania, Nisha Singhania, and Anurag Singhania—were arrested on December 15. After the arrest, all three accused were remanded to judicial custody. Though Nikita Singhania was arrested in Haryana's Gurugram, the other accused, including Nisha Singhania and Anurag Singhania, were arrested near Hotel Rameshwaram in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj.
