A Bhopal district court rejects the interim/anticipatory bail plea of advocate Samarth Singh, who is absconding in connection with the death of his wife, Twisha Sharma. Prosecutors and police link Singh to allegations of abuse and dowry-related harassment connected to Sharma’s death. According to the reports, the police announce a reward of Rs 10,000 for information that leads to Singh’s arrest. Authorities also take steps to stop him from leaving the country. In his bail application, Singh’s side argues that Sharma was a drug addict and that she was undergoing psychiatric treatment. The court’s order indicates that it does not grant immediate relief while the case remains under investigation and Singh is not in custody. Both outlets report the same decision by the Bhopal court and the same reward announcement by police, with the bail application’s claims about Sharma’s alleged addiction also cited as part of the defense argument.
