The investigation into the suspicious death of actress-model Twisha Sharma in Bhopal intensified after police brought her husband Samarth Singh from Jabalpur to the state capital late Friday night. The case has drawn widespread public attention following the emergence of CCTV footage showing Twisha at a beauty parlour shortly before her death and fresh allegations made by her family against her husband and in-laws.

Twisha Sharma, 31, died under suspicious circumstances on May 12 at her matrimonial home in the Katara Hills area of Bhopal. While her in-laws initially claimed she died by suicide, her parental family has accused her husband and mother-in-law of murder. The latest developments, including court proceedings, police action, and viral chats allegedly linked to Twisha, have turned the case into one of the biggest Public Interest Stories and Trending News India topics in recent days.

CCTV Footage Emerges

Police have reportedly seized CCTV footage from a beauty parlour located near Twisha’s matrimonial home. In the footage, Twisha is seen getting ready and undergoing makeup shortly before her death.

Investigators said the parlour is situated barely 100 metres from her residence in Bagmugalia Extension under the Katara Hills area. Officials familiar with the probe said Twisha appeared calm and relaxed in the footage. Police are now examining the timing of her movements and interactions on the day of the incident. Images from the section of the house where her body was found have also surfaced during the investigation.

Husband Brought to Bhopal

Late Friday night, police teams brought Samarth Singh to Bhopal from Jabalpur after taking him into custody. He is currently being kept at Katara Hills police station under security arrangements. Barricading was placed outside the police station and additional personnel were deployed anticipating public and media attention. Police officials said Samarth would undergo medical examination before being produced in court. Investigators are expected to seek remand for detailed questioning. The Special Investigation Team led by ACP Rajneesh Kashyap Kaul is probing the case from multiple angles.

Questions Over Escape

Police are now trying to reconstruct Samarth’s movements during the period he was allegedly absconding. Investigators want to determine where he stayed, who helped him travel, and whether any attempt was made to evade arrest. Officials indicated that action could also be taken against anyone found assisting him during the period. During his appearance in Jabalpur court, Samarth was seen wearing a cap, mask, casual clothes, and a light beard, marking a noticeable change from his usual appearance. Police believe the altered look may have been intended to avoid identification.

Family Alleges Murder

Twisha’s family has consistently alleged that she was murdered inside her matrimonial home. Her relatives claim she had been facing mental harassment after marriage and had repeatedly informed family members through calls and WhatsApp chats. One of the chats that surfaced online allegedly showed Twisha writing to her mother that she felt suffocated and emotionally distressed in her marital home. Her family has also accused local police of initially mishandling the investigation and giving protection to influential members of the accused family.

Court Orders Fresh Postmortem

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ordered a second postmortem examination of Twisha Sharma’s body. According to court directions, the procedure will be conducted at AIIMS Bhopal under the supervision of a team led by the Director of Delhi AIIMS. The entire process will be videographed. Until the fresh postmortem is completed, authorities have been instructed to preserve the body. The state government has also written to the Centre expressing consent for a CBI investigation into the case after demands from Twisha’s family and public pressure increased.

Lawyer’s License Suspended

In another major development, the Bar Council of India suspended Samarth Singh’s licence to practice law with immediate effect. The decision was reportedly taken following the seriousness of allegations linked to the case. Meanwhile, the High Court also issued notice to retired judge Giribala Singh, Twisha’s mother-in-law, in connection with petitions seeking cancellation of her anticipatory bail. Legal proceedings related to bail cancellation, fresh investigation demands, and postmortem directions are expected to continue in the coming days.

Marriage and Dispute

According to family members, Twisha and Samarth met through a matrimonial website in January 2025 and later got married in Delhi on December 9, 2025. Relatives allege that disputes started within a month of marriage and tensions escalated over time. Twisha’s family claimed she faced emotional pressure due to the intercaste marriage and frequently informed them about conflicts inside the house.

Despite repeated counselling from relatives to maintain the marriage, the situation allegedly worsened in the months leading to her death. Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar stated that until the case is transferred to another agency, local police will continue investigation from every possible angle and proceed according to law.
