Calling Twisha’s death a major loss for the family, Singh stated, “Twisha was undergoing a ‘mental training programme’; we supported her throughout. Her loss has created a huge vacuum for us.”

She further claimed that Twisha had been receiving psychiatric treatment. “It’s a profound loss for us because, whatever the circumstances, she was a part of our family… She went for psychiatric counselling also, and medicines were prescribed to her, which are given to a schizophrenic patient… She would remain stable for a day or so, but then again, there would be a slight change in her condition. We observed some physical symptoms, a slight trembling in her hands, which is typical of withdrawal symptoms… She destroyed everything…” the ex-judge further said.

She also expressed grief over her daughter-in-law’s death. “Twisha was on schizophrenic drugs, we failed to save her,” she stated.

Meanwhile, police are continuing their investigation into the case amid growing public attention and allegations from both sides.
