  "account": "The Supreme Court issued notice on a petition seeking to transfer the proceedings of model-turned-actor Twisha Sharma's unnatural death case from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, to a court in New Delhi. The petition was filed by Twisha Sharma's father, Navnidhi Sharma. A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant sought responses from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the two accused in the case, Twisha Sharma's husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh. Both accused have been accused of abetting suicide in the chargesheet filed by the CBI. The CBI has accused Samarth, a lawyer, and Giribala, a former district judge, of mental abuse and physical violence against Twisha Sharma. The family has accused the accused of making financial demands as well.",
  "summary": "The apex court stays the trial proceedings while noting that the bail applications filed by the husband and the mother-in-law will be decided within two weeks.",
