No Remorse: MP High Court Quashes Bail of Ex-Judge in Twisha Sharma Death Case The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Thursday revoked the anticipatory bail granted to retired district judge Giribala Singh in the high-profile dowry death case of Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old woman found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal on May 12. The court’s decision to quash the bail order, issued just hours after the FIR was registered against Singh, sparked significant legal and public debate. The order was delivered by Justice Devnarayan Mishra, who criticized the trial court for failing to adequately assess the gravity of the allegations and the evidence collected during the investigation. The case centers on the death of Twisha Sharma, whose husband, Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, were charged under Sections 80(2), 85, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, as well as Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. The FIR was registered on May 12, and within hours, the Bhopal Sessions Court granted anticipatory bail to Giribala Singh, a decision that drew widespread scrutiny. The High Court’s intervention came after petitions filed by Twisha Sharma’s father, Navnidhi Sharma, and the State Government challenged the bail order, which was issued on May 15 by the 10th Additional Sessions Judge. During the hearing, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Madhya Pradesh Government, argued that the manner in which anticipatory bail was granted raised serious questions about judicial discretion. He contended that the trial court did not consider the material evidence or the seriousness of the allegations against Giribala Singh.#central_bureau_of_investigation #madhya_pradesh_high_court #giribala_singh #twisha_sharma #navnidhi_sharma
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
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
Twisha Sharma Death: Bhopal Police No Objection to Second Autopsy, Court to Examine Case Diary The Bhopal Police commissioner, Sanjay Kumar, confirmed on May 20, 2026, that there was no objection to conducting a second postmortem examination of Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old woman found dead by hanging at her marital home in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area. The police chief stated that the family’s request for a second autopsy had been included in the case diary, but the final decision rested with the court. Kumar emphasized that the police had completed their investigation and were not opposed to the second examination, though the process would take time. The case gained attention after a Judicial Magistrate First Class court scheduled to review the case diary on May 20, 2026, following a plea by Twisha’s family. The family had sought a fresh postmortem at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, citing concerns about lapses in the initial investigation. They argued that the first postmortem report failed to mention the “ligature” allegedly used in the hanging, raising questions about the thoroughness of the examination. Twisha’s husband, advocate Samarth Singh, remains at large, with police forming teams to arrest him. The couple married in December 2025, and Singh is accused of dowry harassment and other offenses. The police had registered an FIR on May 15, 2026, charging Singh and Twisha’s mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, with dowry death and harassment. The family alleged that the initial postmortem, conducted in Bhopal, was influenced by Giribala’s sister, a surgeon based in the city, who they claimed could sway the findings.#all_india_institute_of_medical_sciences #sanjay_kumar #giribala_singh #twisha_sharma #bhopal_police
Twisha Sharma's Suicide Case: A Web of Allegations, Public Outcry, and Unresolved Truths The tragic death of 31-year-old model and actress Twisha Sharma in Bhopal has sparked a storm of controversy, with her family alleging domestic violence, the police investigating suspicious circumstances, and the public demanding justice. The incident, which occurred under mysterious conditions, has drawn attention to issues of gender-based violence, judicial accountability, and the challenges of navigating a complex legal system. Twisha, known for her work in the entertainment industry, was found dead in her home on the night of her death. Initial reports suggested she had climbed to the rooftop, but her family and friends have raised questions about the circumstances. Her father, Navnith Sharma, claimed she had been subjected to abuse by her husband, Samarth Singh, and that her injuries were inconsistent with a suicide. "She had multiple bruises and cuts on her body," he told local media, adding that the family refused to take her body for burial due to their belief in foul play. The police, however, have maintained that the case is under investigation, with the postmortem report indicating "multiple injuries" on her body. Despite this, the family has refused to allow the body to be taken for burial, citing their suspicions of murder. "We are not taking the body because we believe she was killed," Navnith said, emphasizing their demand for a thorough inquiry. The case has also drawn the attention of retired judge Giribala Singh, who was reportedly close to Twisha. Her family alleges that the judge, who had previously expressed concerns about her marriage, was involved in the incident. However, Singh denied any wrongdoing, stating that she had been "disgraced" by the family's accusations.#bhopal #twisha_sharma #navnith_sharma #samarth_singh #giribala_singh
