Twisha Sharma case: CBI files charges of dowry death, cruelty, abetment to suicide against Giribala Singh and son
Twisha was found hanging at her marital home on May 12. While her family alleged dowry-related torture, her in-laws tried to frame it as a suicide.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed 636-page charges against Twisha Sharma's husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh in connection with her death. Twisha was found hanging at their marital home in Bhopal on May 12. The charges include dowry death, cruelty, and abetment to suicide. The case has been registered under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Dowry Prohibition Act.
Twisha's family accused her in-laws of mental, physical violence, and dowry-related torture. However, her husband initially claimed that she had hanged herself at home. An autopsy at AIIMS Bhopal confirmed her death, leading to a second autopsy ordered by the Madhya Pradesh High Court to address allegations of medical errors. The second autopsy, conducted by a team from AIIMS Delhi, revealed forensic evidence supporting the family's claims.
The ligature material allegedly used in the hanging matched the injuries found on Twisha's neck, according to the medical board's report.
