Samarth Singh was arrested in Jabalpur and would be produced before the court. Authorities are seeking a seven-day remand.

The family of 33-year-old Twisha Sharma on Saturday alleged that prime accused Samarth Singh carefully planned his surrender after withdrawing his bail plea in connection with the case. Singh was arrested by the Bhopal police after he expressed willingness to surrender.

Speaking to ANI, Twisha’s family member Saurabh Sharma alleged that the sequence of events surrounding the surrender was suspicious and orchestrated.

“His surrender in Jabalpur is a well-planned conspiracy. He did something in the process because earlier, when we were in the High Court, he was on bail. He withdrew his bail and planned to surrender. Then, somewhere, before we could get the case study, before the order could come, he went to the police station and surrendered. There was a lot of indecency going on there. There were a lot of lawyers, a lot of them were abusing. The media was also unable to do anything there. None of the family members was allowed inside. He was brought here at 2:30 am to the morning, to the Khatara Hills police station," Saurabh Sharma told ANI.

Police officials confirmed that Samarth Singh was arrested in Jabalpur and would be produced before the court. Authorities are seeking a seven-day remand.

“Our team has arrested the accused Samarth Singh from Jabalpur. We will produce him before the Court today. A press conference will be done at 1 pm today by the Police Commissioner. We will seek a 7-day remand of Samarth Singh," ACP Rajnish Kashyap told ANI.

The family has also been demanding a second post-mortem in the case. Saurabh Sharma said the court has already permitted the procedure but the process has not yet moved forward.

“The Court has allowed a second post-mortem, but no decision has been made yet. The sooner a committee is formed, the better. It’s not yet known whether the AIIMS team will come here or they’ll be airlifted there. We want this work done as quickly as possible," he said while speaking to ANI.

Meanwhile, Twisha’s uncle Lokesh Sharma demanded a CBI investigation into the matter, alleging interference in the legal process.

“That’s one of their tactics, because they’re people involved in this law; their mother is a judge. The police should have arrested both mother and son long ago. The girl’s body is still lying in the mortuary, and the entire family are in great pain," he told ANI.

“The criminals, the officers here, and the senior officials who are constantly interfering in this entire legal process will be curbed if CBI intervenes. Whatever has already happened, the remaining proceedings should begin as soon as possible. The CBI should come in as soon as possible, and a second postmortem should be conducted so that we can perform her last rites with dignity," he added.

Twisha Sharma, a resident of Noida, had married Samarth Singh, a Bhopal resident, in December 2025. Following her death on May 12, her family accused her husband and in-laws of mental harassment and dowry-related abuse.
