CBI has dropped the dowry harassment charge against retired judge Giribala Singh, an accused in the Twisha Sharma suicide case, Singh’s lawyer Surendra Singh said
The Central Bureau of Investigation has dropped dowry harassment charges against Giribala Singh, the mother-in-law of Twisha Sharma, in the Jabalpur Twisha Sharma death case. According to Singh's lawyer Surendra Singh, as reported by Hindustan Times, the CBI did not include the charge in its initial chargesheet.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has granted partial relief to Singh, noting that the CBI's investigation did not find evidence to support allegations of dowry harassment against her, as per Free Press Journal. The court's observation was made during the hearing of Singh's bail application.
The case relates to the death of Twisha Sharma, with allegations raised by her family. The CBI conducted an investigation and submitted its chargesheet, which did not include claims related to dowry harassment. The High Court directed Singh's lawyers to remove the mention of dowry harassment from the bail application, as the allegation was not supported by evidence collected during the CBI investigation.
