New Delhi, May 20: The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken cognizance of the suspicious death of 33-year-old Twisha Sharma, a resident of Noida, which occurred in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The NCW has written to the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police (DGP) of Madhya Pradesh, requesting a detailed Action Taken Report (ATR) within seven days.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, the NCW stated, “According to media reports, Twisha Sharma died under suspicious circumstances just five months after her marriage. The victim’s family has made serious allegations of dowry harassment and both mental and physical torture against her husband, Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh. Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar has directed the Chief Secretary and DGP of Madhya Pradesh to ensure an immediate, fair, transparent, and timely investigation. The commission has requested a detailed ATR within seven days.”
The commission has sought information regarding the provisions invoked in the FIR, the status of the accused’s arrest and questioning, actions taken to apprehend the absconding accused Samarth Singh, as well as CCTV footage, call records, electronic and forensic evidence, the post-mortem report, and actions taken on previous complaints.
Additionally, the NCW has instructed that the victim’s family be protected from any threats, pressure, or character assassination to ensure a fair judicial process.
The National Commission for Women condemned the incident, stating that any negligence or misuse of influence in cases of dowry harassment and domestic violence against women will not be tolerated, and strict action must be taken against the perpetrators.
It is noteworthy that Twisha Sharma, a 31-year-old former model, was found hanging at her in-laws’ residence in Bhopal on May 12. Twisha’s family is alleging that she was murdered.
