A Bhopal court granted the CBI custody of Twisha Sharma's husband, Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, until June 2 to investigate allegations of dowry harassment and evidence tampering related to her death.

On Friday, the court sent Twisha's husband, Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, to CBI remand until June 2. The decision comes amid allegations of dowry harassment, tampering with evidence, and claims that Twisha was subjected to continuous distress inside her matrimonial home.

The case has attracted widespread attention in Madhya Pradesh, with both families presenting sharply different versions of events.

Court Sends Accused To CBI Custody

The order was passed by a local court in Bhopal after the CBI sought custody of the two accused for further investigation.

Speaking to reporters, advocate Anurag Srivastava, who represents Twisha's family, said:
"The court has sent Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh to CBI remand till 2 pm on June 2. They will remain in CBI custody until then. The CBI may ask the court to extend the remand if needed."

He expressed hope that the investigation would now move forward in the right direction and help uncover the facts surrounding Twisha's death.

Giribala Singh Arrested After High Court Cancels Bail

The latest development follows the arrest of Giribala Singh, who was taken into custody by the CBI after nearly six hours of questioning.

Earlier this month, a sessions court had granted her anticipatory bail. However, the bail was later cancelled by the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

While revoking the protection, the High Court reportedly considered the factual details of the case and the serious allegations levelled against her.

The cancellation of bail cleared the way for her arrest and further questioning by investigators.

Husband Samarth Singh Surrenders

Twisha's husband, Samarth Singh, had remained untraceable since May 12, the day Twisha died.

According to officials, he later surrendered before a court in Jabalpur, following which he was arrested.

Investigators are now expected to question both Samarth and Giribala together as they attempt to reconstruct the events leading up to Twisha's death.

Family Alleges Dowry Harassment

Twisha Sharma's family has repeatedly accused her husband and in-laws of harassing her over dowry demands.

According to the family, the alleged harassment continued for an extended period and ultimately contributed to her death.

They have specifically accused Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh of being responsible for creating a hostile environment for Twisha.

During court proceedings, Twisha's relatives argued that she was "badly stuck" in her matrimonial home and was unable to escape the pressure she was facing.

The family has also alleged that Giribala Singh attempted to tamper with the crime scene after Twisha's death.

Serious Allegations Against Mother-In-Law

One of the most notable aspects of the case is that Giribala Singh holds an important public position.

She serves as the chairperson of a consumer court in Bhopal.

Twisha's family has alleged that her position and influence may have been used to interfere with the investigation or manipulate evidence.

The CBI is expected to examine these allegations during its ongoing probe.
However, investigators have not yet publicly confirmed whether any evidence of tampering has been found.

In-Laws Deny All Charges

Both Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh have denied the allegations made against them.
Giribala has rejected claims of dowry harassment and responsibility for Twisha's death.
Instead, she has alleged that Twisha struggled with substance abuse issues and questioned her mental health.

She has also accused Twisha's family of attempting to damage their reputation through public statements and media coverage.

According to her, efforts are being made to influence the course of the investigation.
CBI Focuses On Key Questions

With both accused now in custody, the CBI is expected to focus on several important questions, including:

  • The nature of Twisha's relationship with her husband and in-laws.
  • Allegations of dowry-related harassment.
  • Events leading up to her death on May 12.
  • Claims of evidence tampering at the scene.
  • Contradicting statements made by both families.

The circumstances surrounding Samarth Singh's disappearance before his surrender.
Investigators are likely to examine electronic records, witness statements, forensic evidence and communication history as part of the inquiry.

Case Continues To Draw Attention

The Twisha Sharma case has become one of the most closely watched investigations in Madhya Pradesh in recent weeks.

The allegations, the involvement of a senior public official, and the transfer of the case to the CBI have all contributed to public interest in the matter.
With both the husband and mother-in-law now under CBI custody, investigators will have the opportunity to conduct detailed questioning and verify competing claims from both sides.

The next few days are expected to be crucial as the agency works to determine whether the allegations of dowry harassment, evidence tampering and criminal responsibility can be substantiated through evidence.
