Retired district judge Giribala Singh is arrested by the CBI in connection with the dowry death of Twisha Sharma, along with questions raised over alleged harassment. Multiple reports say the CBI arrests follow a decision by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, which quashes Singh’s anticipatory bail a day before her arrest. The CBI then takes Singh into custody and interrogates her, with one outlet reporting an extended interrogation period before the arrest action. Reports also indicate that her son, lawyer Samarth Singh, is sent along with her to CBI custody for a specified period, after which both are expected to be moved to judicial custody. Coverage notes that the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s decision comes after arguments by the state government that the manner in which anticipatory bail was obtained raises concerns about whether relevant aspects were considered. The Supreme Court is also reported to have directed both families to avoid media interviews during the investigation. Separately, one report states the court observes the possibility of tampering with forensic evidence. There are also concerns raised in reporting about Singh’s safety if housed in custody.
