The parents of the techie want custody of their four-year-old grandson and are stating that they have no idea where he is located.

“My son was broken from inside... Even after torture by his wife and in-laws, he didn't tell anyone about it. His suicide note also mentioned that his parents be given custody of his child,” said Pawan Kumar, the father of Subhash.

"We are waiting for the January 7 hearing in the Supreme Court in this regard," he added.

Earlier, the lawyer for Atul Subhash contended that the accused wife must not be permitted to weaponize the child for her bail.

"Our stand was that the crime, which they have committed is very heinous, additionally we have filed a habeas corpus petition before the Supreme Court where the court has passed directions to the three states UP, Karnataka and Haryana for ascertaining the whereabouts of the kid and once the child is found, accordingly will pass directions for considering the custody of the kid," said the techie's lawyer Akash Jindal.
