Overview
- Twisha Sharma was found hanging at her marital home in Bhopal on May 12, and AIIMS Bhopal’s post-mortem has been reported as concluding suicide.
- Her family disputes the finding and has moved the Madhya Pradesh High Court to seek cancellation of mother-in-law Giribala Singh’s anticipatory bail and an order for a second post-mortem.
- Giribala Singh, a retired judge, was granted anticipatory bail on May 15 but has received multiple police notices and officials say they will seek cancellation for alleged non-cooperation.
- Twisha’s husband, advocate Samarth Singh, is absconding and the police have issued a lookout circular, sought passport revocation, and raised the reward for information to Rs 30,000.
- Investigators have formed a Special Investigation Team and the state government has begun proceedings to remove Giribala from a consumer-forum post while the chief minister has said the government will seek a CBI probe; the family is pressing for preservation and forensic review of CCTV, call records and other digital evidence.
