The Controversy Surrounding Twisha Sharma's Death and Allegations

The death of Twisha Sharma at her home in Bhopal really threw a wrench into things. It wasn't just a simple tragedy, you see. It immediately ignited this massive controversy. Her family is screaming about sustained harassment, about dowry demands, about manipulation of evidence, and the sheer misuse of influence by her husband’s side. And that includes the family of the husband, a group that seems to involve a retired judge.

Twisha herself, she was thirty-three. A Noida resident. She married Samarth Singh, a lawyer from Bhopal, back in December of 2025. They met through one of those dating apps, which is how things started for them.

Then, on May 12th, she was found hanging. At her home, in the Katara Hills area of Bhopal. The police are looking into it, naturally, treating it as a suspected suicide. That’s the official line right now.

But the family? They aren't buying it. They are alleging foul play. They are demanding a CBI investigation. They want a second post-mortem, somewhere outside Madhya Pradesh. The whole situation is just spiraling.

The real mess, the stuff that keeps the investigation going, seems to be what Twisha was saying. The messages she sent to her mother—those are huge. They are central to everything now.

She wrote things that just scream distress. Feeling trapped. Emotionally broken inside that house. One message, she wrote about feeling suffocated. “Mujhe bahut zyada ghutan ho rahi hai maa.” That felt heavy.

Another one, something about her life turning into a living hell. “Mera jeevan narak ho gaya hai mummy.” That really cuts deep.

It wasn't just about the living situation. There were deeper issues bubbling up from the very beginning. The family claims trouble started long before the death.

Her father, Navnidhi Sharma, he brought up the dowry angle. He said the demands weren't direct shouts. No one said, “Give us dowry.” But they created this atmosphere. Expectations. Taunts. It was subtle, creeping.

He said things escalated when Twisha lost her job. That’s when the pressure really kicked up.

“After Twisha lost her job,” he alleged. “Then the taunts started. ‘How will we feed you?’ All that kind of stuff came out.” It felt like a slow burn turning into an explosion.

And it wasn't just about money. There were signs, things that started early in the marriage.

He recalled an incident from the honeymoon. An airport. Samarth allegedly showed some violent behavior there. Twisha reportedly asked her brother if she had made a “wrong decision.” That moment hangs heavy.

Navnidhi Sharma described Samarth as something predatory. “A wolf in sheep’s clothing.” That’s the kind of description you hear in these situations. He claimed there were assurances given before the wedding. But those assurances? They just didn't materialize.

Then there are the messages Twisha sent. They are almost a diary of her internal struggle. They detail the immense stress.

She talked about feeling completely trapped. Emotionally shattered inside the marital home. It’s heartbreaking reading those exchanges.

She said she was suffocating. That feeling of being trapped, suffocated.

And then there was the paternity issue. That’s another layer of torment. She wrote about her husband questioning the paternity of her unborn child. Pressuring her about abortion. That kind of control is terrifying.

She wrote, “Mujhe pooch raha hai vo kiska bacha tha… Ye apne ghatiya pane ki har limit cross kar ke baitha hai. Kaise reh lu iske saath.” That line just encapsulates the horror. It’s about losing control over her own existence.

She pleaded with her mother to leave. To take her away from Bhopal. She wrote, “Maa aap mujhe yaha se lene aajao kal please.” A desperate plea.

Even right before everything ended, she reached out to a friend on Instagram. A final, desperate whisper. “I am trapped, bro. Bas tu mat phasna.”

So, what happened on May 12th? The police version is simple. Found hanging at home.

But the family questions that too. Why wasn't there a call to the police? Why was the body taken to the hospital by the husband and mother-in-law? It’s a massive gap in the narrative.

The police side, ACP Rajnish Kashyap, he admitted some things. He said they were looking at the CCTV footage. The whole sequence of things leading up to her being moved to the hospital.

He also admitted a slip-up. He acknowledged an issue with handling the alleged noose found at the scene. He said the investigating officer apparently failed to submit it properly during the post-mortem process initially. That’s a crack in the official story.

The legal side is moving too. Complaints led to an FIR against Samarth Singh and his mother, the retired judge, Giribala Singh. The charges relate to dowry death and harassment under the new laws.

A Special Investigation Team, a six-member SIT, was set up. Headed by Kashyap. Their job is to look into the harassment, the assault, and the destruction of evidence.

The police offered a reward. Ten thousand rupees for any information that leads to Samarth Singh’s arrest. He’s been gone since the incident. Multiple teams are searching. Authorities even contacted the passport office to try and stop him from running away.

But the family isn't stopping there. They are questioning the process itself. They are pointing out irregularities.

They demand that the body be preserved correctly. They insist on a second post-mortem. They want it done at AIIMS Delhi.

Navnidhi Sharma kept hitting back at the legal aspects. He questioned how anticipatory bail was granted so fast to Giribala Singh. He pointed out the influence at play. He said the law treats people based on reputation. That’s a heavy statement, questioning the system.

The relatives and friends didn't stay quiet. They took to the streets. Protests happened. Outside the Chief Minister’s residence in Bhopal. And then Delhi. Jantar Mantar. They were demanding a CBI probe. They wanted immediate arrests. They felt Bhopal wasn't enough.

Kunal Chauhan, a family friend, spoke up during the Delhi protest. He said, “We want justice for Twisha. The case should go to the CBI. We can’t get justice here in Bhopal.”

The accused family has their own story, too. Giribala Singh, in his bail plea and public statements, denied the allegations against his family. He claimed Twisha was just emotionally unstable. He suggested she was undergoing psychiatric treatment.

He also brought up the Medical Termination of Pregnancy. He alleged she had undergone an MTP and later regretted it. A very sensitive point, brought into the public space.

He also claimed Twisha showed symptoms of withdrawal. He said she was receiving psychiatric counseling.

But the police side pushes back on this. ACP Kashyap said they never found any concrete proof of drug use. No evidence there.

Meanwhile, Samarth Singh’s side, represented by his lawyer, Enosh George Carlo, offered a different view. He told ANI that the family had “full faith” in the system. They had “absolutely no objection” to a CBI inquiry or another post-mortem if the order came down.

It’s a clash of narratives, isn't it? The family demanding external intervention versus the accused family asserting faith in the existing process.

Who was Twisha Sharma , really? She wasn't just a name on a file. She was a 33-year-old MBA graduate from Noida. She worked in marketing and communications.

She had a bit of a different profile too. She’d done some beauty pageants. A former Miss Pune. She’d appeared in that Telugu film, Mugguru Monagallu.

She also had interests outside the mainstream. She identified herself as a certified yoga trainer. A Vipassana meditator. But she also had a pull towards acting and filmmaking.

So, you have the official investigation, the family’s furious demands for a deeper dive, the harrowing private messages that reveal the depth of the pain, and the accused family’s counter-narrative about mental health and systemic faith. It’s all tangled up. A real mess.
