New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation has begun its probe into the Twisha Sharma death case, with a team reaching the residence of Giribala Singh in Bhopal on the first day of investigation. Singh, a former district judge and Twisha’s mother in law, has been named as an accused in the case along with Twisha’s husband, Samarth Singh.
According to the Aaj Tak report, CBI officials reached Giribala Singh’s house in three vehicles and inspected the alleged crime scene for around 30 minutes. The team examined different parts of the house and collected information related to the circumstances surrounding Twisha’s death. Two women officers were also part of the investigation team.
The agency is expected to question Giribala Singh to understand the sequence of events before and after the death. Local police personnel were also present at the spot. After completing the inspection, CBI officials left the house without speaking to the media.
The CBI took over the case after the matter drew wide public and legal attention. The agency has re registered the FIR earlier filed by the state police. The case includes charges under sections 80(2), 85 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with provisions of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
As per the FIR cited in the report, Twisha had spoken to her mother at 9.41 pm on the night of the incident. During that call, her husband Samarth Singh was allegedly heard shouting in the background, after which the call was disconnected. When the family tried calling again, Giribala Singh allegedly answered and told them that Twisha was no more before ending the call.
The investigation will also focus on injuries reportedly found on Twisha’s body. The initial postmortem report said the cause of death was hanging, but also noted several injury marks on other parts of the body that were allegedly caused before death. The CBI is now expected to examine how those injuries occurred and whether they were linked to alleged domestic violence or dowry harassment.
Twisha’s family has alleged that she was subjected to mental harassment and domestic violence after her marriage on December 9, 2025, as her in laws were allegedly unhappy with the dowry. These allegations remain under investigation.
The Supreme Court, during a hearing related to the matter, said it would ensure a fair and independent investigation. It also appealed to both the victim’s and accused’s families to place their versions before the investigating agency instead of making public statements that could affect the legal process.
