Bengaluru techie suicide: Kangana Ranaut courts controversy yet again with remarks on men, marriages; says 'men are...'
Bengaluru techie suicide: Bollywood actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has courted controversy once again with her remarks on the suicide of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, whose tragic death has shocked the nation. While expressing her condolences, she also blamed men for most issues in marriages, sparking a fresh debate.
Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old software professional from Uttar Pradesh, was found hanging in his residence in Bengaluru's Manjunath Layout area. In a viral 80-minute video and a 24-page death note, Subhash accused his wife, her family, and a judge in Uttar Pradesh of harassment, calling it the driving force behind his decision to die by suicide. A placard reading "Justice is due" was also discovered at the scene.
Kangana Ranaut described the incident as "heartbreaking," adding, "Fake feminism is condemnable. Extortion of crores of rupees was being done." However, she went on to claim, “In 99 percent of marriage cases, it’s the men who are at fault. That’s why such mistakes also happen.” Her remarks have drawn both criticism and support online, reigniting discussions on marriage and gender issues.
What Atul Subhash said in his video
In his viral video, Subhash explained his decision: "The money I earn is making my enemies stronger. That same money will be used to destroy me, and this cycle will keep going. With the money from my taxes, this court and police system will harass me, my family, and other good people. So, the supply of value should be finished."
He also requested that his wife and her family be barred from his final rites and urged his family to discard his ashes outside a court's gutter if the alleged harassers were not held accountable.
According to a senior police official, a case of abetment of suicide has been registered against Subhash's wife and her family members based on his family’s complaint. "All the allegations are being investigated, and no arrests have been made yet," the officer added.
