Twisha's brother Ashish Sharma told Telangana Today that the CBI has provided factual details of the cruelty inflicted on his sister. Twisha's family had accused Samarth and Giribala of mental abuse, physical violence, and dowry-related torture. The probe into dowry demands and alleged dowry death remains open. Both accused are in judicial custody and have applied for bail before the High Court. Twisha, a former Miss Pune from Greater Noida, married Bhopal-based advocate Samarth Singh in December 2025.
