Along with this, he has also included the name of Principal Judge Rita Kaushik in Jaunpur Family Court in the note. However, on Wednesday, an FIR has been lodged against four people including Nikita based on the complaint of Subhash’s brother Vikas Kumar.

Subhash’s uncle Pawan Kumar alleged that his nephew was being harassed and tortured for money and his wife and the judge also insulted him.

He said, “Whatever happened is very unfortunate. He was losing the case (filed by his wife). He was being harassed. They (wife and in-laws) were constantly asking him for money. According to his status, he was giving her (wife) money for the maintenance of the child.”

Initially, the family demanded Rs 40,000 per month, later doubled it and then asked Subhash to pay Rs 1 lakh. Kumar alleged that Subhash’s wife and her in-laws were extorting money from his nephew on the pretext of maintenance of the child (Subhash’s four-year-old son).
