CBI files charge sheet against Twisha Sharma’s husband and mother-in-law

The CBI has filed a charge sheet against Samarth Singh and his mother Giribala Singh, the husband and mother-in-law of former actor Twisha Sharma, who was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal on May 12. The charge sheet, filed before a special court in Bhopal, alleges mental cruelty and abetment to suicide against the mother and son. According to sources cited by National Herald India, the charge sheet runs 636 pages and includes charges under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to dowry death, cruelty, abetment of suicide, and common intention, as well as sections of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

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. She was found hanging on May 12. A second autopsy ordered by the Madhya Pradesh High Court was conducted by a team from AIIMS Delhi. The post-mortem identified asphyxia by hanging as the cause of death and recorded several ante-mortem injuries.
