The court also granted bail to her mother and brother.

The 34-year-old software engineer’s wife and her family had been booked under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) section 108 (abetment of suicide) on the basis of a complaint filed by the deceased’s brother.

The techie was found dead in his apartment in Bengaluru’s Marathahalli on December 9, leaving behind a 24-page suicide note, wherein he alleged that his being harassed by his estranged wife and her family over legal cases for ‘dowry harassment’ and other charges.

He had also left behind a 90-minute-long video, detailing his version of the entire scenario.

The techie’s suicide note alleged that his wife, on behalf of their minor son, had demanded ₹2 lakh in monthly maintenance. In fact, she initially sought ₹1 crore in maintenance, which she later increased to ₹3 crore.

The wife was arrested from Haryana’s Gurugram, while her mother and brother were nabbed from Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj for abetting to the deceased’s suicide, a Bengaluru Police official had said.

In mid-December, the Allahabad High Court had granted anticipatory bail to the uncle of the estranged wife in the techie’s suicide case. The counsel appearing for the accused had argued that the uncle was facing the highest level of media trial and also raked up the matter of his elderly age.

The counsel had argued that the uncle was being ‘virtually incapacitated’, adding that there as no question of him abetting the suicide.
