Twisha Sharma Death Case: MP CM Mohan Yadav Assures CBI Probe After Meeting Family

The Madhya Pradesh government will seek a CBI probe into the death of Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old woman from Noida who was found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal earlier this month. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav gave the assurance after meeting Twisha’s family members at the state secretariat on Wednesday.Twisha was found hanging at her in-laws’ residence in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area on May 12, barely five months after her marriage. Her family has alleged dowry harassment, physical abuse, and lapses in the police investigation. According to an official statement, the chief minister assured the family that the state government would extend all possible assistance in the case. He also said he would write to the Central Bureau of Investigation,

requesting the agency to take over the probe.

Meanwhile, a district court on Wednesday (May 20) dismissed the family’s applicationseeking a second postmortem, saying that it does not have the jurisdiction to direct such a transfer or order a post-mortem examination at AIIMS Delhi.Police have already registered an FIR against Twisha’s husband, advocate Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh, under sections related to dowry death and harassment.A Bhopal court recently rejected the anticipatory bail plea filed by Samarth Singh, while his mother had earlier secured anticipatory bail in the case. Authorities have also formed a Special Investigation Team to examine allegations of dowry harassment, assault, and destruction of evidence.

Twisha’s family has repeatedly raised concerns over the handling of the investigation, claiming the FIR was lodged three days after her death. They have also demanded a transparent and independent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the case.Meanwhile, police have announced a reward of Rs 10,000 for information leading to the arrest of Samarth Singh, who remains absconding.
