Twisha Sharma Death Case

The 33-year-old actor and model Twisha Sharma was found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal on May 12, around five months after her marriage to advocate Samarth Singh. Samarth brought Twisha to AIIMS Bhopal and told authorities that she had allegedly died by suicide at their home at around 10.20 pm. Doctors declared her brought dead and informed police. Following this, the police registered a medico-legal case, according to an FIR. 

The investigation, initially handled by state agencies, was subsequently taken over by the CBI. Samarth Singh was arrested in connection with the case; his mother - who is a retired judge - Giribala Singh, was arrested by the CBI on May 28 after the Madhya Pradesh High Court quashed the anticipatory bail earlier granted to her. Since then, both mother and son have been lodged in Bhopal Central Jail.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered a second autopsy after concerns were raised over the first postmortem conducted at AIIMS Bhopal and alleged lapses were flagged by Twisha’s family. A four-member team from AIIMS Delhi conducted the second postmortem in Bhopal on May 24.

In their statements, Twisha’s family alleged that she had been subjected to mental harassment and domestic abuse by her in-laws, who were allegedly unhappy with the dowry provided at the time of her marriage. The family further claimed that the alleged harassment and abuse had driven the former model and actor to take the extreme step.
