SIT Tightens Probe

The last rites came a day after accused husband Samarth Singh was arrested following nearly 12 days on the run. He has since been sent to seven-day police remand and is being continuously questioned by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating Twisha Sharma’s death.

According to sources, investigators are facing difficulties during the interrogation as Samarth Singh has allegedly not been cooperating with the probe. Officials claim he has failed to provide satisfactory responses to several important questions linked to the case.

The SIT is now closely examining the period during which he was reportedly absconding. Investigators are attempting to establish where he stayed during those days, who may have provided shelter, and whether he remained in contact with his mother, retired judge Giribala Singh.

Focus On May 12 Events

Police are also questioning Samarth Singh about his relationship with Twisha Sharma, alleged marital disputes, financial dealings and the sequence of events that unfolded on the night of May 12.

Sources said investigators are trying to reconstruct the timeline surrounding Twisha’s death and verify details gathered from digital evidence, witness statements and financial records. The SIT is reportedly cross-checking his statements with technical inputs and other evidence collected so far.

The case has drawn significant public attention in Madhya Pradesh, with the arrest of Samarth Singh marking a major development in the investigation. While the family performed Twisha Sharma’s final rites in Bhopal, the SIT continues its efforts to uncover the circumstances surrounding her death and determine whether more individuals may have played a role during the accused’s alleged period of absconding.
