Accenture Locked Its Profile on X (Formerly Twitter) Following Public Outcry Demanding Dismissal of Nikita Singhania

Accenture has locked its profile on X (formerly Twitter) following public outcry demanding the dismissal of Nikita Singhania, an employee accused of harassing her ex-husband, Atul Subhash, who tragically took his own life.

Subhash left behind a detailed suicide note and video, alleging emotional distress caused by Singhania and her family. This incident has sparked significant online backlash, with many calling for Singhania's termination.

The case has highlighted ongoing debates about gender bias in legal systems concerning marital disputes in India.

Accenture locked their account because they don't want to terminate Nikita Singhania. It's time to show the power of social media. @Accenture you can't silence us, either you terminate your employee or be ready for backlash.#JusticeForAtulSubhash pic.twitter.com/6usG9FmO8a

The public reaction to Atul Subhash's tragic death has been intense and widespread. Social media platforms have been flooded with calls for Nikita Singhania's dismissal from Accenture.

As of now, Accenture has not issued any official statement or comments regarding the case of Atul Subhash's suicide and the public outcry for the dismissal of his wife, Nikita Singhania. The company has, however, as said above, locked its X (formerly Twitter) profile amid the growing demands for action.

The situation remains highly sensitive, and it seems Accenture is likely taking time to assess the situation before making any public comments.

Many users have expressed outrage, accusing Singhania of harassment and emotional distress that led to Subhash's suicide. The public outcry has also sparked a broader debate about gender bias in India's legal system, with many calling for reforms to protect men from false accusations and legal harassment.

The legal proceedings in this case are complex and ongoing. Subhash left behind a 24-page suicide note and an 80-minute video detailing the alleged harassment and extortion by Singhania and her family. He accused them of filing multiple false legal cases against him, including dowry harassment, unnatural sex, and even murder. The Bengaluru police have registered an FIR against the accused under sections of the Indian Penal Code related to cruelty and intimidation.

The Supreme Court of India has introduced an eight-point framework for calculating alimony in divorce cases to promote fairness and equity. This case has brought attention to the emotional and legal challenges faced by men in similar circumstances, with growing calls for systemic changes to prevent such tragedies in the future.
