A Court in Bhopal Sends Accused in Twisha Sharma’s Death Case to CBI Custody A court in Bhopal on Friday (May 29, 2026) directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh, the accused in the death of Twisha Sharma, into custody for five days. The two were produced before Justice Shobhana Bhalawe’s court, where the CBI sought their detention to conduct further interrogations. The court granted custody until June 2, following their medical examinations. The CBI plans to question the accused in detail to verify claims about the events leading to Twisha’s death. Twisha Sharma, 33, was found dead at her marital home on the night of May 12. Her family alleges she faced mental harassment and dowry demands from her in-laws, including Giribala Singh, her mother-in-law. Samarth Singh, her husband, denied the allegations, accusing her of being addicted to contraband substances and suffering from a mental illness. The case has drawn significant legal and public attention, with multiple court orders and procedural developments shaping its trajectory. Samarth Singh was arrested by the Bhopal Police’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) on May 22 after evading custody for over a week. His custody was later transferred to the CBI, which took over the case. Giribala Singh was arrested by the CBI on May 28 following a six-hour investigation at her residence in Bhopal. The arrest followed the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s decision to quash her anticipatory bail, which she had been granted on May 15 by a local Bhopal court. The High Court’s intervention came after scrutinizing the circumstances of Twisha’s death. The court noted that several injuries on her body, including one on her head, were antemortem and occurred before her death.#central_bureau_of_investigation #samarth_singh #giribala_singh #twisha_sharma #court_bhopal
