Jaunpur (UP), Dec 12 (PTI) The mother-in-law and the brother-in-law of techie Atul Subhash, who committed suicide in Bengaluru, fled their home in Jaunpur on Thursday, even as Uttar Pradesh Police finally got official communication from Karnataka regarding the case and a team from there reached the city.
