A boarding school in Haryana's Faridabad has confirmed that the child of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash, who died by suicide last month accusing his wife of harassment, was staying in its hostel. The school provided the information to Bengaluru Police following an inquiry into the whereabouts of the child after Atul's death.

The principal of the school sent a letter to the Marathahalli police station confirming the child's enrolment at the school. The letter clarified that the four-year-old boy was a bonafide student, and enroled in nursery. The boy's mother, Nikita Singhania, had completed his admission process. She had also claimed that she was the child's sole guardian, removing the father's details from the admission form.

The letter, obtained by media, was in response to a query from Bengaluru Police regarding the child's location. Relevant documents, including the admission form, were shared.

The school also mentioned that no one had come to take the child during the winter holidays and special arrangements were made for him at the hostel.

The development comes at a time when Atul Subhash's mother has filed a habeas corpus plea in the Supreme Court seeking the custody of her grandson. The court has, however, refused to give custody to her, saying she was "virtually a stranger" to the child.

On Tuesday, Subhash's wife revealed for the first time that their child was at a boarding school in Haryana's Faridabad and would soon be taken to Bengaluru to meet his mother.

Atul Subhash died by suicide last month, allegedly due to demands from his estranged wife for a Rs 3 crore divorce settlement. Later, Nikita, her mother and brother were arrested on charges of abetting Atul's suicide. They were granted conditional bail last week.

Meanwhile, Nikita's family accused Atul Subhash of demanding a large dowry, which allegedly led to the death of her father.

Pavan Kumar Modi, Atul Subhash's father, expressed concern for his grandson's safety. He accused Nikita Sin
