Twisha Sharma's Mother-In-Law Might Have Tampered Forensic Evidence: Court

The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Tuesday tore apart the anticipatory bail granted to retired judge Giribala Singh in the sensational Twisha Sharma death case, observing that the trial court had ignored crucial evidence, failed to properly appreciate witness statements and overlooked serious allegations surrounding the mysterious death of the 33-year-old woman inside her matrimonial home in Bhopal. In a scathing 17-page order, Justice Devnarayan Mishra quashed the anticipatory bail granted by the Bhopal Sessions Court, clearing the way for custodial interrogation in a case that has already triggered massive political, legal and public outrage. The High Court said the lower court had relied heavily on defence documents while ignoring key material collected during the investigation, including WhatsApp chats, witness statements, allegations of dowry harassment and the suspicious circumstances surrounding Twisha Sharma's death. According to the order, Twisha Sharma married Samarth Singh, son of Giribala Singh, on December 9, 2025, and died barely five months later on May 12, 2026, allegedly by hanging inside her matrimonial home in Bhopal. But what appears to have shaken the High Court most were the allegations emerging from WhatsApp chats and witness statements. The order records allegations that Twisha was repeatedly harassed over her pregnancy, that her husband and in-laws doubted the paternity of the child in her womb, and that pressure was allegedly exerted on her to terminate the pregnancy.
