CCTV Footage, Family Conflict, and Legal Battle in Death Investigation

The CCTV footage surfaced, you know. It just popped up on social media, and it shows Twisha Sharma’s last moments. It’s all there, the moments right before and after the death at her Bhopal home last week. Just raw visuals, unsettling stuff.

But that video, it immediately kicked off a firestorm. Her family? They’re screaming. They’re pointing fingers at the in-laws, saying it was all about dowry demands, about the constant harassment. They claim mental cruelty, physical torture. All of it happened after she married Samarth Singh back on December 9th. And now, the Special Investigation Team is looking into it. Trying to figure out what actually went down.

The footage itself, it’s weird. It shows Twisha heading towards the rooftop. Right before things got really bad. Then, nearly an hour later, Samarth, her husband, is seen carrying her downstairs through the stairs with two other guys. That’s what the video shows.

And then there’s the part everyone talks about. The husband trying to revive her. CPR. Allegedly. On the staircase, right after she was brought down. It adds this whole other layer to the investigation. It’s not just a simple crime anymore. It’s this messy visual evidence.

Then the family hit back. They found something wrong with the timeline. They claimed the date in the video was messed up. They insisted it wasn't May 10th, they said it was May 12th. They’re fighting over the details already.

Meanwhile, the husband, Samarth, he’s gone. Absconding. That’s the frustrating part. As he’s dodging the law, the local court reserved a decision on his anticipatory bail application on Monday. But his mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh? She got anticipatory bail already. Just like that. It’s a tangled web of legal maneuvering happening while the actual investigation drags on.

Misrod ACP Rajneesh Kashyap is saying things are moving. He told reporters that police teams are actively hunting for Samarth Singh. They even declared a reward. People are looking for him.

Kashyap also touched on the medical side. The preliminary post-mortem report from AIIMS Bhopal? It pointed to a very specific finding. Hanging suicide. That’s what the initial report suggests. But that doesn't tell the whole story, does it?

Kashyap also made a point about procedure. He said they’ll push hard if there’s any slip-up in the investigation. Especially about the rope. Did they send the rope to AIIMS during the post-mortem? That’s a detail that matters, apparently.

And then you have the family’s side, the mother-in-law, speaking out. She brought up the mental state. She brought up the drug use. It shifts the focus entirely.

She said Twisha wasn't just some victim. She was undergoing a ‘mental training programme.’ She said they supported her. And now, the loss is huge. A vacuum.

She went further, talking about psychiatric treatment. She claimed Twisha was receiving treatment. Schizophrenic drugs. She said they were prescribed for a schizophrenic patient. She said she observed symptoms. Trembling hands, withdrawal. She said everything was destroyed. It’s a really heavy claim.

But then there’s the pushback. The ex-judge, she defended her son, Samarth. She said he never touched drugs. She called him a competent advocate. A total contradiction to what she just said about the drugs.

She then threw another curveball. She claimed Twisha confessed to using large amounts of marijuana during pregnancy. That’s a huge contradiction, isn't it? One side says she was chemically unstable, the other says her husband was clean.

It’s all just spinning. The video, the family claims, the medical reports, the legal battles. It’s a mess. The police are still digging, and everyone is telling different stories. Meanwhile, the public just watches, waiting for something to settle, or maybe just waiting for the next piece of noise to come out. The investigation keeps moving, but the narrative around it just keeps shifting, getting weirder and more complicated with every new claim thrown into the mix.
