Bhopal, May 27: A significant development has emerged in the high-profile Twisha Sharma case. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has placed her husband, Samarth Singh, in custody until May 29. Following the CBI’s involvement, the investigation has accelerated.
Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old model and actress, was found hanging at her in-laws’ residence in Katara Hills, Bhopal, on the night of May 12. Initial investigations revealed suspicious circumstances, prompting her family to accuse her husband and in-laws of mental harassment, dowry demands, and ongoing abuse. Consequently, the Bhopal police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on May 15 under sections related to dowry death and cruelty.
Due to Twisha’s background in modeling and acting, the case quickly gained national attention. Meanwhile, the accused, Samarth Singh, who is the son of retired judge Giribala Singh, evaded authorities for nearly ten days following the incident.
Samarth later surfaced in Jabalpur, where he attempted to surrender after withdrawing his anticipatory bail plea from the Madhya Pradesh High Court. However, police clarified that this was not a surrender but an arrest. He was presented in a Bhopal court, where he faced allegations of not cooperating during initial questioning and failing to answer several critical questions, leading the court to grant a seven-day police remand.
Investigators have stated that numerous questions remain unanswered regarding Samarth Singh’s activities on the day of Twisha’s death. Both police and CBI are conducting thorough examinations of his location, call records, digital data, and financial transactions.
Meanwhile, hearings regarding a bail petition are ongoing in the Madhya Pradesh High Court, drawing significant public interest. Twisha’s family has consistently raised concerns about the local police investigation and has called for a CBI inquiry. They now hope the central agency will uncover the truth behind the case.
Officially, a team from CBI’s Special Crime Unit-III arrived in Bhopal on Tuesday morning. The team, including two female officers, inspected the roof of the house in Katara Hills where Twisha’s body was discovered. They also examined various parts of the house and collected crucial evidence.
In the coming days, the CBI will interrogate other family members and investigate various aspects, including marital disputes. There is considerable outrage on social media regarding the case, with calls for strict action against those responsible.
