Twisha faced 'sustained psychological harm' from husband, mother-in-law: CBI chargesheet
Twisha, 33, was found dead under suspicious circumstances at her marital home in Bhopal on May 12, just five months after her marriage to Samarth.
Former actor-model Twisha Sharma took her own life in May 2023 after enduring years of mental torment from her husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh, as revealed in a recently filed charge sheet by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The 33-year-old was discovered dead at her home in Bhopal, five months after her marriage to Samarth, who is also a lawyer.
According to the 600-page charge sheet filed on August 14, Samarth and Giribala are accused of inflicting "sustained psychological harm" on Twisha and face charges of abetting her suicide. The CBI has kept the investigation open regarding allegations of dowry demands and dowry death. During the investigation, Twisha's sister-in-law, mother, and father reported that Samarth had become increasingly aggressive and violent towards her.
On the night of May 12, Twisha messaged her sister-in-law, requesting him to collect her belongings the following day, adding, "Let me die in peace right now." The second autopsy conducted by a team from AIIMS Delhi confirmed the cause of death as asphyxia due to ante-mortem hanging, which was determined to be suicidal. Forensic psychological assessments of Twisha's diaries, chats, and CCTV footage revealed that she experienced "hopelessness, sustained psychological harm, and absence of support."
