The Twisha Sharma death case took a major turn after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested former judge and mother-in-law Giribala Singh following the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s decision to cancel her anticipatory bail.
The high-profile case has drawn nationwide attention due to allegations of dowry harassment, evidence tampering, and the involvement of influential individuals linked to the judiciary.
CBI Arrests Former Judge Giribala Singh
According to reports, the CBI arrested retired district judge Giribala Singh from her residence in Bhopal shortly after the Madhya Pradesh High Court quashed the anticipatory bail granted to her earlier by a sessions court.
The court observed that several crucial aspects of the case, including injury marks, WhatsApp chats, witness statements, and harassment allegations, required deeper investigation.
Officials stated that the arrest could help investigators conduct custodial interrogation regarding allegations of dowry harassment and possible tampering with evidence.
What Is the Twisha Sharma Death Case?
Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old former model and actor, was found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal on May 12. Her family alleged that she faced continuous mental harassment, dowry pressure, and abuse from her husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh.
Her husband Samarth Singh, a lawyer based in Bhopal, is also under investigation in the case. The family has repeatedly claimed that the initial investigation was mishandled and demanded an independent probe due to the influence of the accused family.
High Court Cancels Anticipatory Bail
The Madhya Pradesh High Court overturned the anticipatory bail granted to Giribala Singh, stating that the lower court failed to properly consider serious allegations and available evidence.
The High Court reportedly took note of ante-mortem injury marks found on Twisha Sharma’s body, alleged WhatsApp chats linked to harassment, claims regarding forced pregnancy termination, and allegations of dowry-related abuse.
The court’s decision paved the way for the CBI to take Giribala Singh into custody.
Allegations of Evidence Tampering
The case became even more controversial after Twisha Sharma’s family questioned the handling of CCTV footage and phone calls allegedly made immediately after her death.
According to reports, investigators are examining claims that calls were made to influential individuals and CCTV technicians soon after the incident.
The CBI has also reportedly argued in court that Giribala Singh had training in crime scene management and may have attempted to interfere with evidence related to the case.
Supreme Court Earlier Commented on Media Narrative
The Supreme Court had earlier advised both Twisha Sharma’s family and the accused side to avoid media discussions during the ongoing investigation. The court also noted concerns being raised publicly due to the accused being a former judge.
The case has generated significant public outrage on social media, with many demanding strict action and an unbiased investigation.
CBI Investigation Continues
The CBI officially took over the Twisha Sharma death investigation earlier this week after mounting pressure and demands for an independent probe. Investigators are now examining digital evidence, medical reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements connected to the case.
Officials believe further questioning and forensic analysis may reveal more details regarding the circumstances surrounding Twisha Sharma’s death.
