Overview
- Police reported a late‑night burglary at retired judge Giribala Singh’s Katara Hills residence on the intervening night of June 27–28 and say suspects fled after being confronted by a patrol vehicle.
- Officers recovered silverware, jewellery, documents and a licensed pistol from an abandoned bag left by the fleeing suspects and detained or questioned persons identified from CCTV footage.
- Twisha Sharma’s family and their lawyer have urged the CBI to secure all material at the house, saying the property is a central crime scene and expressing concern that the break‑in could compromise or remove evidence.
- The CBI secured an extension of judicial custody for Giribala Singh and her son Samarth until July 14 and has applied in court for Samarth’s laptop password and voice samples from both accused while it awaits CFSL, viscera and second post‑mortem reports.
- The burglary increases public and legal scrutiny of evidence handling in a case that began when Twisha Sharma was found dead at the matrimonial home on May 12 and could affect the investigation’s timeline and trust in the evidence chain.
