CBI chargesheets Samarth Singh, Giribala Singh in Twisha Sharma death case
In the chargesheet, the CBI has named Samarth, a lawyer, and Giribala, a former district judge, whom the deceased's family has accused of mental abuse, physical violence.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has filed charges against Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh, the husband and mother-in-law of actress-model Twisha Sharma, over the mysterious death of their daughter-in-law at their marital residence in Bhopal on May 12, 2026, according to officials. The chargesheet, presented before a special court in the city, accuses the accused of mental abuse, physical violence, and dowry-related torture meted out to Twisha.
Twisha, who tied the knot with Samarth Singh in December 2025, was discovered lifeless at their residence on the aforementioned date. The FIR alleges that Samarth Singh had taken her to AIIMS Bhopal, claiming she had committed suicide at home at 10:20 p.m. Medical staff at the hospital informed the police that Twisha was brought in dead, triggering a medico-legal case.
Following an initial police probe and a second autopsy ordered by the Madhya Pradesh High Court to address concerns raised by the family, the CBI assumed jurisdiction in the case and arrested both Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh. The second autopsy was carried out on May 24 by a team of four doctors from AIIMS Delhi. In their accounts, Twisha's relatives allege that she endured severe mental and physical abuse from her in-laws, who were dissatisfied with the dowry paid during the marriage on December 9, 2025.
They claim that the 33-year-old ex-model and actor endured relentless torment and domestic violence, which allegedly drove her to take her own life.
