Summary: Vikas Dubey was denied permission to avoid arrest by the Delhi High Court in a case involving his wife's suicide at a metro station. The court found evidence suggesting he was involved.
On the night between June 3 and June 4, 2025, a tragic event happened at Chhatarpur Metro Station in New Delhi. A woman jumped in front of an oncoming train and was declared dead when she arrived at AIIMS Trauma Centre. The police identified her and found a note in her bag that accused her husband, Vikas Dubey, of making her feel like she had no other choice but to end her life.
The note was a crucial piece of evidence. Written in Hindi, it blamed Vikas for pushing her to take such a drastic step. Investigators also found recorded conversations on her phone, which backed up what the note said. These conversations revealed that Vikas used harsh language and provoked her just hours before her death.
"Just a few hours before the deceased took a suicidal jump, Vikas, in his conversation... did provoke her to take her life."
Vikas Dubey's lawyer argued that there was no direct link between his actions and his wife's suicide. They claimed she had a neurological disorder and that she was living separately without any complaints of domestic violence. They also mentioned that they lived far apart as a factor.
On the other hand, the prosecution, supported by analysis of the note, confirmed it was real. They also mentioned that Vikas had been messing with evidence by deleting conversations from his phone.
Justice Girish Kathpalia, after looking over the evidence, decided not to let Vikas Dubey avoid arrest. The court told him to turn himself in to the police by February 11, 2026.
"I do not find it a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to Vikas."
This decision shows how seriously the court viewed the evidence against Vikas and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation without interference.
