Overview
- A Bhopal sessions court on Monday rejected absconding lawyer Samarth Singh’s anticipatory bail, and police announced a ₹10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
- A Special Investigation Team is probing dowry-death and abetment charges, with Singh on the run and his mother, retired judge Giribala Singh, on anticipatory bail.
- Home CCTV shows Twisha Sharma walking toward the terrace and, about an hour later, men including her husband trying CPR and carrying her down, though her family flagged errors in the footage timing.
- The AIIMS Bhopal autopsy lists hanging as the preliminary cause, as police admitted not sending the alleged rope for testing and the family sought a second exam at AIIMS Delhi with a CBI probe.
- Giribala Singh alleged drug use, psychiatric treatment and an abortion pill in defense filings and a press conference, which the family rejected while citing Twisha’s messages that she felt trapped.
