Probe into Twisha Sharma’s Death and Legal Entanglements

The probe into Twisha Sharma’s death is really heating up now.

Samarth Singh, her husband, surrendered in the Jabalpur district court on Friday evening.

He’d been on the run for ten days after the woman died. The Bhopal Police finally got him into custody.

This whole situation is tangled up with the legal mess.

Singh had tried to get permission to surrender before the trial court in Delhi High Court earlier.

Twisha, who was married to him in December, was found dead at their Bhopal house on May 12. Everything about it felt suspicious.

Samarth Singh later pulled back his anticipatory bail plea.

Jaydeep Kaurav, his lawyer, said he withdrew the application from the single bench of the High Court, where Justice Avanindra Kumar Singh presided.

The Bar Council of India stepped in too. They suspended Samarth Singh’s license to practice as an advocate immediately. Manan Kumar Mishra, the BCI Chairman, issued the statement. He said the suspension was pending further consideration.

Family and Allegations

Meanwhile, things are happening with the family.

Singh’s mother, Giribala Singh, who is also named in the FIR, managed to get anticipatory bail from a Bhopal court last week. She’s a retired judge, currently chairing the Bhopal Consumer Court.

The family stories are totally different. One side claims dowry harassment and abetment to suicide by the in-laws. The Singh family, though, is pushing a different angle—they claim Twisha was struggling with drug addiction.

The police registered an FIR against Singh and his mother. It covers sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita , plus the Dowry Prohibition Act.

Twisha’s father, Navnidhi Sharma, is making noise too. He alleged that the case is being influenced. He claimed his lawyer’s life was under threat. He said Samarth’s family was using their influence in the lower court.

Court Orders and Investigation Concerns

The court made a move regarding the investigation itself. The Madhya Pradesh High Court directed that a second post-mortem be done.

It specifically ordered that the AIIMS-Delhi team in Bhopal should handle the second autopsy.

This request came from Twisha’s family. They had asked the High Court for another autopsy after a lower court denied them.

The family felt the initial investigation was flawed. They argued there were technical lapses. They pointed out a three-day delay in filing the FIR.

Twisha’s lawyer brought up some specific concerns during their plea. They argued the investigators failed to provide the belt allegedly used in the hanging during the first post-mortem.

There was also the issue of the report itself. The lawyer noted there was no detailed mention of the injuries found on Twisha’s body in the initial report. Plus, they pointed out a discrepancy: Twisha’s height recorded in the post-mortem seemed different from what the police reported.
