The Bar Council of India (BCI) suspends advocate Samarth Singh from legal practice following allegations related to the death of his wife, model-turned-actor Twisha Sharma. Across reports, the suspension is described as immediate and is linked to allegations of dowry death. The BCI cites the seriousness of the accusations and states that they have a direct bearing on the dignity and discipline of the legal profession. One report also notes that Singh had been absconding but later surrendered and was taken into custody, while another frames the action primarily as a professional disciplinary step tied to the ongoing case. Twisha Sharma is reported as being from Noida and was found hanging at her marital home in Bhopal. The BCI’s decision reflects that, pending the outcome of the allegations, the council considers the nature of the accusations sufficient to suspend his licence to practice law.
