MP High Court Revokes Anticipatory Bail for Giribala Singh in Twisha Sharma Dowry Death Case The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Wednesday, May 27, overturned the anticipatory bail granted to Giribala Singh, the mother-in-law of Twisha Sharma, in the alleged dowry death case of the 33-year-old model-actress. The court’s decision came after a detailed review of the evidence, including WhatsApp chats and medical reports, which highlighted the involvement of both Giribala Singh and her son, Samarth Singh, in the harassment and alleged cruelty against Twisha. Twisha Sharma was found hanging in her husband’s residence on the night of May 12, six months after her marriage. Her parents alleged that she faced severe mistreatment, including dowry harassment, from her husband and mother-in-law. The husband, a practising lawyer, had initially sought anticipatory bail but was denied it. He later approached the High Court but withdrew his petition with permission to surrender before the Trial Court. The Trial Court had granted anticipatory bail to Giribala Singh on May 15, citing the FIR and WhatsApp chats that allegedly pointed to her son, Samarth Singh, as the primary accused. However, the State and Twisha’s parents challenged this decision, arguing that the Trial Court failed to consider all the evidence. The High Court bench, led by Justice Devnarayan Mishra, examined the case and noted that the WhatsApp chats contained allegations against both Giribala Singh and her son. The Trial Court, however, had concluded that the accusations were solely against Samarth Singh. The court’s analysis revealed critical discrepancies. The death was determined to be an antemortem hanging, with six other injuries reported.#madhya_pradesh_high_court #samarth_singh #giribala_singh #twisha_sharma #dowry_prohibition_act
