Madhya Pradesh govt recommends CBI probe in Twisha Sharma death case

BHOPAL: The Madhya Pradesh government has recommended a CBI probe into the death of Twisha Sharma, officials said on Friday.The decision comes amid growing allegations and competing claims surrounding the circumstances of her death, prompting demands for a deeper and more comprehensive investigation by central agencies.The development is expected to intensify scrutiny into the case, which has already triggered significant public and legal attention.Former district judge Giribala Singh, the mother-in-law of Twisha Sharma who allegedly died by suicide at her Bhopal residence earlier this month, is facing the possibility of cancellation of her anticipatory bail as well as a review of her position as president of the Bhopal District Consumer Commission.Police on Thursday issued a “third and final notice” to Giribala Singh, directing her to record her statement in connection with the case. Investigators have indicated that if she continues to avoid cooperating with the probe, they may approach the court seeking cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to her by a Bhopal sessions court.In parallel, the Madhya Pradesh government has reportedly sought clarification from the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission on whether a person under investigation can continue to head a district consumer panel.

The matter has also reached the Madhya Pradesh High Court, where multiple petitions related to the alleged dowry death are expected to be heard before the vacation bench on Friday.Twisha’s husband Samarth Singh, who is currently absconding, has approached the Jabalpur bench of the High Court seeking anticipatory bail after his earlier plea was rejected by a sessions court. Meanwhile, Twisha’s father Navnidhi Sharma has filed a petition seeking cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to Giribala Singh.
