Twisha Sharma Case: Remand Extended for Ex-Judge and Son
Twisha Sharma, a model and actor, was found dead in her home in Bhopal, India, in May 2026.
She had been married for only six months to Samarth Singh, a lawyer, and her mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, a former judge.
The police and then the CBI investigated the case, and charges were filed against Giribala and Samarth for dowry-related offenses and cruelty.
The CBI asked for an extension of their remand until August 11 to continue the investigation, while the defense argued that there were no new developments.
The court rejected Giribala's bail application, citing evidence of her involvement in Twisha's death.
The defense also objected to the CBI's conduct during the voice sample collection process.
