A Bhopal court hears the ongoing Twisha Sharma death case being investigated by the CBI, with the agency requesting an extension of judicial custody for the accused. CBI asked that Samarth Singh, Twisha Sharma’s husband, and his mother, retired judge Giribala Singh, remain in judicial custody until June 30. The court accepts the request. Both accused are produced before the court via video conferencing from Bhopal Central Jail, where they are lodged.
During the hearing, Twisha’s side argued that the second post-mortem report has not yet been submitted in court. The CBI also tells the court that it has not received the second post-mortem report and that it is an important document for the investigation. Other procedural points are raised by the accused’s counsel, including requests related to meeting time with lawyers and access to case-related materials. The earlier judicial custody period ends during this process, and the court’s decision extends their judicial remand. The case follows allegations involving Twisha Sharma’s death at her matrimonial home on May 12 and related allegations of dowry harassment, as reported by multiple outlets.
