The high-profile Twisha Sharma dowry harassment and death case has now reached the High Court. Main accused Samarth Singh, Twisha’s husband, has sought bail there. His plea requests a hearing before the vacation bench. Therefore, the case has entered a sharper legal phase.
Samarth Singh currently remains outside police custody. Police want him in this case. Earlier, Bhopal district court rejected his anticipatory bail plea completely. Now, the main accused has approached the High Court. Police have also announced a ₹30,000 reward on him.
Family Opposes Giribala Singh’s Bail
The case saw another major turn after Twisha’s family challenged Giribala Singh’s anticipatory bail. Giribala Singh, Twisha’s mother-in-law, is a retired judge. The victim’s family filed a High Court plea seeking cancellation of her bail.
Family lawyer Ankur Pandey claimed the relief given to Giribala Singh goes against legal principles. According to him, the bail violates laws passed by the legislature and established rules. He also said the family consulted legal experts first. After that, they moved the High Court for bail cancellation.
Second Postmortem Demand Also Continues
Twisha’s family wants a fair investigation in the case. Therefore, they want a second postmortem at AIIMS Delhi. Earlier, a Bhopal sessions court rejected this demand.
The court said sending the body to Delhi did not fall under its jurisdiction. Twisha’s father said the family will also seek High Court intervention on this issue. They want directions for a second postmortem.
