<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Court Production After Medical Check-up</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday produced retired judge Giribala Singh and her son Samarth Singh before a local court in Bhopal, days after taking over the probe into the death of actress and model Twisha Sharma. The couple was brought to the court premises following a mandatory medical examination at the MANIT campus.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">CBI’s legal representative formally requested a five-day remand for both accused, arguing that their custodial interrogation is essential for unravelling the sequence of events leading to the 25-year-old’s death. Officials familiar with the matter said the probe team wants to question the mother-son duo face-to-face.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Face-to-Face Interrogation Planned</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">According to sources, investigators believe confronting Giribala and Samarth simultaneously could expose inconsistencies in their individual accounts of what transpired on the night of May 12. The agency has already taken Samarth into custody earlier. With Giribala’s arrest on Thursday after nearly seven hours of questioning, the CBI now has both primary accused in its net.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">“The idea is to recreate the emotional and situational dynamics of that night,” a source close to the development said. “Sitting them across from each other often leads to cracks in the narrative.”</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Evidence Tampering Allegations</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The retired judge was arrested late Thursday evening on allegations of tampering with evidence. CBI teams had first reached her Bag Mugalia Extension residence on May 26, two days after formally registering an FIR in the case. During spot verification, officers reportedly found signs that suggested crucial material may have been disturbed or removed before the agency could secure the scene.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Local authorities had initially handled the case, but the family raised suspicions over the police investigation, prompting the state government to hand over the matter to the CBI.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Virtual Recreation of Last Hours</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">In a significant development, the agency is now employing what officials describe as a “tunnel view investigation technique.” A virtual recreation of Twisha Sharma’s final hours is being prepared, allowing the team to map minute-by-minute activities before and after her death.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">This digital reconstruction will incorporate call detail records, tower locations, and statements from household staff and other family members who were present that night. The CBI is also analysing digital evidence, including deleted messages and app activity, to verify claims made by the accused.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">What Happened That Night?</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Twisha Sharma was found dead under suspicious circumstances at her in-laws’ residence in Bhopal late on May 12. While initial police reports suggested a possible accident or suicide, the actress’s family alleged foul play and demanded a thorough probe. The case gained widespread attention after discrepancies emerged in the time of death and the family’s delayed response in informing authorities.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Sources said the CBI has already questioned domestic help and neighbours over the past week. Investigators are now likely to record statements from extended family members and anyone who communicated with the household in the 48 hours following the incident.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Next Steps in the Investigation</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The court is expected to rule on the CBI’s remand request later on Friday. If granted, the agency will have five days to interrogate both Giribala and Samarth together, apart from continuing its forensic analysis of the crime scene.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Officials confirmed that no new arrests are imminent, but the investigation remains open to examining the role of other individuals based on evidence that surfaces during the remand period.</p>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/states/madhya-pradesh/cbi-grills-giribala-singh-for-6-hours-in-twisha-case/article-19375"><img src="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/media/400/2026-05/cbi-grills-retired-judge-for-6-hours-in-twisha-death-case.jpg" alt=""></a><br /><p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Anticipatory bail rejected a day earlier; husband Samarth Singh on CBI remand till May 29</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">A team of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers on Thursday questioned retired judge Giribala Singh for over six hours at her residence in the Kolar Hills area, as her arrest in the Twisha Sharma death case appeared imminent.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The questioning began around 10:30 am, barely 24 hours after the Madhya Pradesh High Court cancelled her anticipatory bail in a late-night order. Sources familiar with the matter said the former judge was being confronted with digital evidence and forensic reports.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Heavy Security, Barricades Outside Residence</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The retired judge’s house has been virtually sealed. Personnel from the Kolar Hills and Bag Sevania police stations have been deployed outside, and barricades have been put up around the property. Officials from both police stations were also seen entering the premises.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">According to local authorities, the heavy security is a precautionary measure to manage the growing crowd of onlookers and media personnel that has gathered in the upscale locality.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">3D Camera Used to Map Crime Scene</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Investigators brought a high-intensity 3D camera inside the house to conduct a 360-degree forensic mapping of the entire premises. The technology is typically used to prepare scientific evidence for court.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Initial reports indicate that the camera was also positioned on the balcony to scan neighbouring rooftops and terraces. The CBI is trying to determine whether the spot where Twisha died was visible from any adjoining property.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">What the High Court Said</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">In a strongly worded 17-page order issued late Wednesday, the High Court noted that the lower court had failed to properly examine the case diary and evidence. The court observed that multiple injury marks were found on the body, which the accused side could not explain satisfactorily.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">“The trial court did not consider the seriousness of the case. It was not appropriate to grant relief to the accused,” the order stated, according to legal sources.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The court also took note of WhatsApp chats that allegedly show the mother-in-law and husband pressuring Twisha over her character and demanding an abortion.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Husband on CBI Remand Till May 29</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Meanwhile, Twisha’s husband Samarth Singh remains in CBI custody after the agency was granted his remand until May 29. Officials are questioning him about the sequence of events on the night of May 12, when Twisha died under suspicious circumstances at their home.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Investigators are also looking into his ten-day disappearance. Police have confirmed that Singh had switched off his mobile phone and hid in Jabalpur while on the run. “He kept changing locations and avoided direct contact with people,” an official said.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The Case So Far</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">Twisha Sharma, an actress and model who had worked with several multinational brands and appeared in two Telugu films, died on the night of May 12. While her in-laws have maintained it was a suicide, her family has alleged murder.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">A second post-mortem was conducted by a team from Delhi AIIMS at the Bhopal AIIMS on May 24. The final report, including histopathology and viscera analysis, is still awaited. Her last rites were performed later that evening at the Bhadbhada crematorium.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">What Happens Next</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">With the CBI team expected to leave the residence at any time, officials said a medical examination will likely precede a formal arrest. The agency is also examining call detail records and CCTV footage from the area.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify;">The Supreme Court had taken suo motu cognisance of the matter on May 25, with the Chief Justice expressing concern over questions being raised about the judiciary’s impartiality. For now, all eyes remain on the Kolar Hills residence, where a former judge’s fate hangs in the balance.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p dir="ltr">The Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday moved rapidly after the Madhya Pradesh High Court cancelled anticipatory bail for retired judge Giribala Singh in the high-profile death of 22-year-old Twisha Sharma, officials and sources said, with investigators conducting detailed digital mapping of the accused’s house and questioning her at the residence. According to sources familiar with the probe, Giribala could be arrested any time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Order and timing</p>
<p dir="ltr">The High Court’s 17-page order, issued late on Wednesday, set aside the anticipatory bail granted earlier by a trial court. The bench observed that given the seriousness of the allegations, the evidence on record and the present stage of the investigation, relief was not warranted. The court noted multiple injury marks on Twisha’s body and said the accused had not offered satisfactory explanations, according to a copy of the order made available to reporters.</p>
<p dir="ltr">CBI activity at scene</p>
<p dir="ltr">A CBI team reached Giribala Singh’s home in the Katara Hills area of Bhopal around 10.30 am on Thursday and began questioning her, officials said. Investigators installed a high-intensity 3D camera inside the residence to take precise measurements and record 360-degree visuals of the first floor and other areas, part of a broader effort to recreate the crime scene and preserve digital evidence.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Teams are recording the internal layout, the heights of walls and vantage points that could help corroborate statements,” an official involved in the probe said on condition of anonymity. The visuals are being added to the case file as scientific evidence, the source added.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sequence of events</p>
<p dir="ltr">Twisha, who was married in 2023, died on the night of May 12 and was taken to AIIMS Bhopal, where an initial post-mortem recorded hanging marks and other injuries, the court order said. Police seized mobile phones and a DVR from the house the same day. The trial court had earlier granted anticipatory bail after noting certain WhatsApp messages that primarily complained about the husband and financial transfers into Twisha’s account. That order has now been overturned following a deeper review by the High Court.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Allegations and evidence</p>
<p dir="ltr">Prosecutors and investigating agencies contend WhatsApp chats and statements from Twisha’s family indicate alleged mental harassment, pressure to abort a pregnancy and demands for dowry. The High Court flagged inconsistencies in the defence account and raised concerns about potential attempts to influence the probe, noting public statements that could have tarnished the deceased’s image.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The post-mortem, the court said, found injuries that could not be explained simply as marks sustained while cutting down a body, making custodial interrogation of key accused necessary. The CBI has also been examining call detail records, digital backups and CCTV footage, and is probing whether any footage was tampered with, officials said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Custody and questioning</p>
<p dir="ltr">Twisha’s husband, Samarth Singh, remains in CBI remand until May 29 as investigators try to reconstruct his whereabouts on the night of May 12 and reconcile his statements with technical evidence. Sources said the agency is also tracing contacts he had while allegedly absconding and matching his movements with phone records and digital footprints.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Security and ground reaction</p>
<p dir="ltr">Security around Giribala’s home was tightened on Thursday, with additional police personnel deployed in the neighbourhood. Local residents and journalists gathered outside the house; a reporter from a Bhopal daily filed live updates as the CBI proceeded. In a brief sighting on Thursday morning, Giribala was seen outside feeding street dogs, one source said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What happens next</p>
<p dir="ltr">With anticipatory bail vacated and the CBI actively recording and analysing scene visuals, officials say an arrest could follow if questioning and evidence review point to custodial needs. The agency is expected to seek formal remand if it decides to take Giribala into custody. Court filings and formal charges, if any, will determine the next legal steps.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Investigators stressed that the probe is ongoing and that conclusions will rely on the forensic, digital and circumstantial evidence being assembled. The CBI declined immediate comment; the High Court registry confirmed the order but did not offer further comment beyond the written judgment.</p>

<p> </p>]]></description>
                
                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/special-news/twisha-death-case-bhopal-court-to-rule-on-evidence-today/article-19240"><img src="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/media/400/2026-05/twisha-death-case-bhopal-court-to-rule-on-call-records,-cctv-preservation-today.jpg" alt=""></a><br /><p dir="ltr">The Central Bureau of Investigation has re-registered the case against the deceased model's husband and her mother-in-law, a retired judge, following a delayed police medical report.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A district court in Bhopal is scheduled to hear two separate applications on Tuesday seeking the preservation of critical electronic evidence, including Call Detail Records (CDR) and CCTV footage, in connection with the death of former actress and model Twisha Sharma.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The hearing comes amid a massive escalation in the high-profile case, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officially taking over the probe and registering a fresh FIR against Twisha’s husband, Samarth Singh, and her mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, who is a retired judge. The federal agency's FIR explicitly acknowledges severe allegations of physical harassment and monetary dowry demands.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Court Defers Initial Hearing</p>
<p dir="ltr">The matter was originally placed before the district court on Monday, but the proceedings had to be adjourned. The Bhopal Police failed to submit their required status report on time, prompting the court to grant additional time to the local investigators.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to legal sources, advocate Ankur Pandey, representing Twisha’s grieving family, moved the plea to secure and freeze all relevant telecommunication logs. Interestingly, a separate application was moved on behalf of the accused mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, requesting the court to ensure that CCTV footage from around the residence is preserved. Both sides have stated that securing this data is vital to prevent tampering or technical data loss as the trial shapes up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">CBI Steps in Upgrading Case</p>
<p dir="ltr">The investigation shifted gears dramatically after a specialized CBI team arrived in Bhopal on Monday night. The agency formally took over the case docket from the Katara Hills police station, re-registering the FIR under stringent sections pertaining to dowry death and matrimonial cruelty.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Timeline of Key Events (May 2026)</p>
<p dir="ltr">May 12, 09:41 PM : Last WhatsApp call from Twisha to her family; shouting heard.</p>
<p dir="ltr">May 12, 10:20 PM : Estimated time of death by hanging at Bagh Mugalia home.</p>
<p dir="ltr">May 12, 10:35 PM : Mother-in-law answers family's call, stating "She is no more."</p>
<p dir="ltr">May 13, 05:00 AM : AIIMS Bhopal formally logs Medico-Legal Case (MLC).</p>
<p dir="ltr">May 24 (Sunday)  : AIIMS Delhi team performs a rare second post-mortem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">May 25 (Monday)  : CBI officially files FIR; SIT questions accused for 2.5 hours.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Initial findings by the local police during the preliminary inquiry revealed prima facie evidence of sustained mental and physical torture linked to an additional demand of ₹20 lakh. This finding formed the core basis for the CBI’s aggressive intervention.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Twisha Death Case Discrepancies Under Lens</p>
<p dir="ltr">A central focus of the federal probe is an unexplained seven-hour delay in informing law enforcement. While forensic analysis suggests Twisha died by hanging at her Bagh Mugalia Extension residence at approximately 10:20 PM on May 12, the formal medico-legal case (MLC) was only logged by AIIMS Bhopal at 5:00 AM the following morning.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Twisha’s family has repeatedly alleged that the delay was intentional. They claim that Samarth Singh—a practicing criminal lawyer—returned to the house after she was declared dead at the hospital specifically to clean the crime scene and alter physical evidence. The CBI is slated to question the attending doctors at AIIMS who initially registered the emergency case.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Late-Night Interrogations Conducted</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ground realities in Bhopal remained tense as a Special Investigation Team (SIT) flanked by forensic experts raided Samarth Singh’s residence in Bagh Mugalia Extension at around 7:30 PM on Monday.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Both Samarth and his mother, Giribala Singh, were subjected to intense custodial questioning lasting over two and a half hours. Investigators subsequently conducted a detailed spot verification of the room where the 33-year-old former model was found. The initial short post-mortem report from AIIMS noted the cause of death as "ante-mortem hanging" but crucially flagged multiple minor blunt force injuries on other parts of her body, contradicting the outright suicide claims made by the in-laws.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Supreme Court Intervenes Directly</p>
<p dir="ltr">The legal battle has simultaneously reached the highest judicial corridors. The Madhya Pradesh High Court issued an urgent notice to the retired judge following petitions filed by the state government and Twisha’s father, Navnidhi Sharma, challenging the anticipatory bail granted to her by a lower trial court.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In New Delhi, the Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of the matter on Monday. During the proceedings, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta alleged that the accused party was actively leveraging local influence to obstruct the ongoing investigation. Chief Justice Surya Kant expressed deep concern over attempts to weaponize public narratives against the judiciary's independence, strongly urging both the defense and prosecution to refrain from making inflammatory public statements.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, following a rare second autopsy conducted by a specialized team flown in from AIIMS Delhi, Twisha’s body was finally cremated at the Bhadbhada crematorium on Sunday, where her brother, Major Harshit, performed her last rites.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/states/madhya-pradesh/twisha-sharma-second-post-mortem-at-bhopal-aiims/article-19176"><img src="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/media/400/2026-05/delhi-aiims-team-begins-fresh-post-mortem-of-actress-twisha-sharma-in-bhopal.jpg" alt=""></a><br /><p dir="ltr"><strong>Delhi AIIMS four-member team conducts second post-mortem at Bhopal AIIMS; family says funeral likely this evening</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">A four-member team from Delhi AIIMS began a second post-mortem on the body of actress Twisha Sharma at Bhopal AIIMS on Sunday, officials said, as tight security remained in and around the hospital morgue. The development comes amid competing claims from the actress’s natal and marital families and fresh legal and investigative moves, including a direction for possible CBI involvement.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Second post-mortem underway<br />According to hospital sources, the AIIMS team reached Bhopal late Saturday night and started the judicial procedure early Sunday morning. Police and hospital security personnel were deployed around the mortuary and adjacent corridors to manage access. The entire process is to be video-recorded, as ordered by the Madhya Pradesh High Court.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Family statement on funeral<br />Major Harshit, Twisha’s brother, told reporters that the family plans to perform the last rites at Bhadbhada crematorium at 5 pm today, subject to completion of post-mortem formalities. He declined to comment on whether the actress’s husband or in‑laws would attend. The family has also sought swift transfer of the case to the CBI, a demand vocalised by Twisha’s father, Navnidhi Sharma.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Court and probe developments<br />The case drew national attention after the Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance and listed the matter for hearing before a bench led by the Chief Justice on Monday. Earlier, the Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered a second post-mortem, directing that it be led by the AIIMS director and that the police keep the body under safe custody until the procedure is complete.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On Saturday, Bhopal district court sent Twisha’s husband, identified as Samarth Singh, to seven days’ police remand after his production before the magistrate. The court also ordered seizure of his passport. Police said a look-out notice had been issued earlier amid concerns of possible flight from the country.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sequence of events<br />Initial police records show Twisha, a 28-year-old actor and daughter-in-law of retired judge Giribala Singh, returned to her residence in the Katara Hills area of Bhopal on the night of May 12. CCTV from the parlour showed her arriving around 6 pm. Samarth told investigators that the couple went for a stroll and later watched television; he said Twisha spoke on the phone with family and then went to another room. He said he later fell asleep and woke to find her missing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Samarth and family accounts<br />In statements to police, Samarth said the couple’s relationship had been “normal” after marriage in December 2025 but that Twisha’s behaviour had changed after pregnancy was confirmed on April 17. He said she had travelled to Ajmer and Delhi briefly in April and returned to Bhopal on April 30. Samarth claimed Twisha had left a mark of distress in calls with her mother on the night in question and that his mother discovered Twisha hanging from an elastic exercise band on the terrace.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Police said CPR was administered and Twisha was taken to AIIMS Bhopal, where doctors declared her dead. Investigators, however, maintain that statements are being cross-checked and that Samarth’s account contains inconsistencies. “We are probing the sequence of events on May 12 and will examine all forensic leads,” an officer familiar with the probe said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Legal fallout<br />The Bar Council of India on May 22 suspended Samarth’s right to practice; the BCI chairman confirmed the order. In the state High Court, the in‑laws’ request to hand over the body to the husband on religious grounds was rejected. The court has issued notices to multiple parties, including retired judge Giribala Singh, whose anticipatory bail the father has challenged.</p>
<p dir="ltr">State and central involvement<br />Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said the state government had written to the Centre for CBI assistance; officials told reporters the state has conveyed willingness for central investigation. The father’s delegation met the chief minister on May 20 seeking an independent probe; the CM reportedly assured cooperation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What happens next<br />Police said Samarth will be questioned further, including on the spot where the incident occurred and on movements from the day in question up to his arrest. Investigators plan to recreate timelines and collate CCTV and call data records. The second post-mortem report — expected later Sunday — could shape the next legal steps, including the family’s decision on where final rites will be held.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hearings are scheduled in both the High Court and local courts on Monday and Tuesday: the High Court will continue its oversight while a Bhopal district court will hear an application to cancel Giribala Singh’s anticipatory bail.</p>

                <title>Twisha Sharma Death Case Deepens as Husband Brought to Bhopal</title>
                                    <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>CCTV footage of actress-model Twisha Sharma’s final moments surfaces as police prepare to seek custody of husband Samarth Singh</strong></p>]]></description>
                
                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/states/madhya-pradesh/twisha-sharma-death-case-deepens-as-husband-brought-to-bhopal/article-19077"><img src="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/media/400/2026-05/twisha-sharma-death-case-(1).jpg" alt=""></a><br /><p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h5><strong>CCTV Footage Emerges</strong></h5>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h5><strong>Husband Brought to Bhopal</strong></h5>
<p>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.</p>
<h5><strong>Questions Over Escape</strong></h5>
<p>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.</p>
<h5><strong>Family Alleges Murder</strong></h5>
<p>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.</p>
<h5><strong>Court Orders Fresh Postmortem</strong></h5>
<p>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.</p>
<h5><strong>Lawyer’s License Suspended</strong></h5>
<p>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.</p>
<h5><strong>Marriage and Dispute</strong></h5>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                <title>Twisha Sharma Death Case: Court Rejects Second Postmortem Plea</title>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/states/madhya-pradesh/twisha-sharma-death-case-court-rejects-second-postmortem-plea/article-18914"><img src="https://english.dainikjagranmpcg.com/media/400/2026-05/twisha-sharma-death-case.jpg" alt=""></a><br /><p>A Bhopal court on Wednesday rejected a plea seeking a second postmortem of actress and model Twisha Sharma, whose death under suspicious circumstances has triggered widespread public attention in Madhya Pradesh. The court, however, directed police to preserve the body in a mortuary facility capable of preventing decomposition for an extended period.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh government has decided to write to the Centre seeking a CBI investigation into the case. Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav also assured Twisha Sharma’s family that the state would support further legal proceedings, including arrangements to shift the body to AIIMS Delhi if ordered by the court.</p>
<h5><strong>Court Rejects Second Postmortem</strong></h5>
<p>The order was passed by Judge Anudita Gupta’s court in Bhopal after hearing arguments related to the demand for a second postmortem examination outside the state. In its observation, the court stated that allowing a second postmortem in another state did not fall within its jurisdiction. The court also noted that the first postmortem conducted at AIIMS Bhopal followed due procedure and there was no evidence on record indicating collusion between doctors and the accused. The court said suspicion alone could not justify ordering another postmortem examination at this stage.</p>
<h5><strong>Body Preservation Ordered</strong></h5>
<p>While rejecting the plea, the court instructed the Katara Hills police station SHO to ensure proper preservation of the body. The order highlighted concerns regarding the existing mortuary facility at AIIMS Bhopal, where the body is reportedly being stored at minus 4 degrees Celsius, allowing preservation for only four to five days. The court observed that long-term preservation would require storage at nearly minus 80 degrees Celsius to prevent decomposition. Twisha Sharma’s family has now indicated that they will approach the Madhya Pradesh High Court seeking permission for a second postmortem at AIIMS Delhi.</p>
<h5><strong>CM Assures Family Support</strong></h5>
<p>Twisha Sharma’s father Navnidhi Sharma met Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav in Bhopal along with a group of retired armed forces personnel. During the meeting, the Chief Minister reportedly assured the family of all possible assistance from the state government. He also stated that the government would facilitate transportation of the body to Delhi if the High Court orders a second postmortem. The state government additionally plans to request a CBI investigation into the case through an official communication to the Centre.</p>
<h5><strong>Bail Cancellation Plea Planned</strong></h5>
<p>The Madhya Pradesh government is also expected to file an application seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to Twisha Sharma’s mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh. Twisha’s family has accused Giribala Singh and husband Samarth Singh of dowry harassment and linked them to the actress’s death. The family has separately written to Governor Mangubhai Patel demanding removal of Giribala Singh from her current position in the district consumer forum, arguing that an accused in a dowry death case should not continue in office.</p>
<h5><strong>Husband Still Absconding</strong></h5>
<p>Bhopal Police has issued a lookout notice against Twisha Sharma’s husband Samarth Singh, who remains absconding. Police Commissioner Sanjay Singh said a Special Investigation Team is probing the matter from every possible angle and efforts to trace the accused are ongoing. Authorities have also increased the reward for information leading to Samarth Singh’s arrest from Rs 10,000 to Rs 30,000. The court has directed Samarth Singh to appear before it on May 23 and present his side in the matter.</p>
<h5><strong>Questions Over Investigation</strong></h5>
<p>The case has sparked debate over forensic procedures and handling of evidence during the initial postmortem process. According to information emerging from the investigation, the belt allegedly used in the hanging incident was not brought to AIIMS Bhopal during the postmortem examination. As a result, forensic experts could not scientifically compare the ligature marks on Twisha’s neck with the alleged object used. Police officials have maintained that preliminary findings indicate suicide and that the neck injuries appear consistent with hanging. However, Twisha Sharma’s family has pointed to injury marks found on her body and continues to allege dowry harassment and foul play.</p>
<h5><strong>National Attention On Case</strong></h5>
<p>The National Commission for Women has taken suo motu cognisance of the matter and sought an Action Taken Report from the Madhya Pradesh government within seven days. The commission has asked officials to provide details regarding FIR provisions, CCTV footage, forensic evidence, call records and measures taken to ensure safety of the family. Rajya Sabha MP Vivek Tankha has also written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav seeking a CBI probe into the actress’s death. Retired armed forces personnel additionally organised a motorcycle rally in Bhopal demanding an impartial investigation into the Twisha Sharma death case.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p style="text-align:justify;">The death of actress Twisha Sharma in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area has triggered a wave of shock, grief, and controversy, with new statements from her co-stars and family members adding multiple layers to the ongoing investigation. Twisha, who reportedly died by suicide on May 11, was the daughter-in-law of a former judge, Giribala, and had worked in a few regional films and advertisements during her brief acting career.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The case gained widespread attention after alleged WhatsApp chats of the actress surfaced online, in which she reportedly expressed emotional distress and feelings of isolation. Following this, her family staged protests and accused her in-laws of harassment and dowry-related abuse, demanding a thorough investigation into her death.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Amid the growing controversy, actor Dixit Shetty, who worked with Twisha in the film <em>Mugguru Monagallu</em>, has now shared his perspective on the actress’s life and aspirations. In an interview, he described her as a dedicated and energetic individual who was passionate about her work but unsure about her long-term future in the film industry.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“She was very hardworking and full of life. It is extremely shocking to hear what has happened,” Shetty said. “I did not even know she was married. We worked together only once, and after that she went back to her family.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">He further claimed that Twisha had expressed a desire to return to academics. According to him, she was planning to pursue higher studies, particularly a master’s degree, as she felt that acting might not be the right path for her. “She had told me that she wanted to study further. She felt that acting was not what she had expected it to be. She also mentioned that she wanted to settle down with her family and rethink her career choices,” he added.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Twisha Sharma, originally from Noida, had completed her MBA before stepping into modelling and acting. She had reportedly won titles in beauty pageants and appeared in a few regional films, including <em>Zara Sambhal Ke</em> (2018) and <em>Mugguru Monagallu</em> (2021). However, her career in the entertainment industry did not achieve significant success, after which she is said to have taken up a corporate job in Delhi.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was during her time in Delhi that she reportedly met advocate Samarth Singh through a dating application. The two developed a relationship and later got married in December 2025 with the consent of both families. However, within just five months of marriage, Twisha’s life came to a tragic end.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On May 12, her family was informed about her death. They immediately raised allegations against her husband’s family, claiming that she had been subjected to harassment and possible foul play. A formal complaint was registered, and the case soon escalated into a police investigation. Following the complaint, Twisha’s mother-in-law, a former judge, was arrested but later granted bail. Meanwhile, the husband has reportedly gone missing and remains untraceable.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Adding further complexity to the case, Twisha’s WhatsApp messages have surfaced, in which she allegedly wrote to her mother expressing emotional distress. In one of the messages, she reportedly said she felt suffocated and emotionally trapped, adding that she was neither allowed to cry nor laugh freely. These messages have now become a key part of the investigation.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Reports also suggest that Twisha had undergone a medical termination of pregnancy shortly before her death, although official confirmation is still awaited. Meanwhile, the in-laws have made counter-allegations, claiming that she was struggling with substance use and would often leave home for long hours without informing anyone.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A CCTV footage has also emerged, allegedly showing Twisha going alone to the terrace on the night of the incident. Shortly after, visuals reportedly show people bringing her body down, which has intensified calls for a detailed forensic and legal investigation.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As the investigation continues, authorities are examining all possible angles, including personal disputes, mental health concerns, and allegations of domestic conflict. Police officials have not yet issued a final conclusion, stating that the case is still under active review.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The incident has sparked a broader conversation about mental health pressures, relationship stress, and the challenges faced by individuals transitioning between public careers and private life. Social media has also been divided, with some users demanding strict legal action while others urge restraint until official findings are released.</p>
