- Assistant Police Commissioner Rajneesh Kashyap Kaul confirmed Friday that police filed a dowry-death FIR late Thursday against husband Samarth Singh and his mother Giribala Singh, with teams now conducting raids to trace them.
- Twisha Sharma, 31, was found hanging at her Katara Hills home Tuesday night and was declared dead on arrival at AIIMS Bhopal, with no suicide note recovered.
- The short post-mortem cites antemortem hanging and notes multiple injuries, and it records a medical termination of pregnancy about a week before death, with viscera, blood, nail, and uterine samples preserved for testing.
- Her family alleges sustained harassment over dowry and a recent pregnancy, reports a delay in reaching the hospital, and accuses the in-laws of tampering with the scene.
- Relatives have held sit-ins outside police offices and refused to accept the body, demanding swift arrests and a murder case underlining their distrust of the in-laws’ influence.
