Omji, as per The Logical Indian, reported that after Rishi's death, his wife Shikha allegedly returned from her parents' home and demanded Rs 5 lakh. She allegedly threatened that if they did not pay, she would not allow them to perform Rishi's last rites. "She insulted us, shouted in the street, and hurled abuses at our family," Omji said. He said police ignored them even when they filed a complaint.

Omji claimed Rishi worked 12-14 hours a day and drove a taxi to meet his wife's alleged financial demands. "She often woke him up at 5 am and repeatedly told him to die,” The Logical Indian quoted Omji as saying. "He felt trapped and alone," he added.

Atul Subhash Suicide Case

Atul Subhash in a 24-page note mentioned how he was forced to take the extreme step because her estranged wife Nikita Singhania was allegedly demanding maintenance of Rs 2 to 4 lakh and using their four-year-old son in a family court. 

In the note, Subhash said that his ashes should not be immersed until he gets justice. "If justice cannot be given then my ashes should be thrown in the gutter in front of the court so that people understand that man's life is a gutter in this country," he wrote.

"I am writing this suicide note in sound disposing mind. I am committing suicide today due to the explicit instigation for suicide, harassment, extortion and corruption of individuals," he wrote. He has named five people, including his wife, his in-laws, and Principal Family Court Judge (UP), for instigating him.
