Twisha Sharma's husband taken into custody by Jabalpur Police amid high drama

Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old from Noida, died by suicide at her marital home in Bhopal on May 12. Her family accused her in-laws of dowry harassment and abetment to suicide, while the Singh family claimed she was addicted to drugs.


After 10 days on the run, Samarth Singh, the husband of Twisha Sharma, surfaced dramatically at a court in Jabalpur to surrender on Friday before being taken into custody by police in the high-profile death case that has triggered outrage and demands for a CBI probe. “Aap criminal hain (Are you a criminal),” a reporter repeatedly asked as Samarth was mobbed by journalists and camerapersons inside courtroom


Hours earlier, Samarth’s lawyer had said his client would surrender in court. However, there was confusion on the ground as the accused moved from courtroom to courtroom while police waited outside to arrest him. He was finally taken into custody by the Jabalpur Police.


The High Court allowed Samarth Singh to surrender before the trial court or Katara Police Station in Bhopal and adjourned the matter for further hearing on Monday. "He will surrender immediately. He has to prepare for his wife’s last rites,” the counsel said.


Advocate Anurag Srivastav representing the victim, says, "The trial court is in Bhopal, and the investigating officer is also in Bhopal, he (Samarth Singh) should surrender before them...If he wants to surrender, he should do it in the trial court or in front of the investigating officer..."


His lawyer also informed the court that he would withdraw the anticipatory bail plea.


Twisha, a 33-year-old from Noida, was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal on May 12. Her family accused her in-laws of dowry harassment and abetment to suicide, while the Singh family claimed she was addicted to drugs.


While the post-mortem report concluded that Twisha died by suicide, her family has refused to accept it, alleging foul play.


COURT ALLOWS SECOND AUTOPSY

The court also agreed to a second autopsy of Twisha's body after the counsel for the petitioner – Twisha's father – urged the court to prioritise the matter, saying “time is ticking fast."


However, appearing for Giribala Singh, Twisha’s mother-in-law, her lawyer opposed the demand for a second autopsy, arguing that the postmortem had already been conducted by doctors at AIIMS and questioning the need for another examination.


“It is an insult to the medical fraternity. It reflects their own incompetence and shows they do not trust their own doctors,” the counsel argued before the court.


'BODY MUST NOT DECOMPOSE'

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing in the matter, defended the integrity of the doctors who conducted the autopsy but said a second opinion could still be sought if the victim’s family felt something had been overlooked.


“The impartiality of the doctors is exemplary. But if the victim’s family feels something is missing, a second opinion can be sought,” he submitted.


Meanwhile, opposing any delay in the final rites, Singh’s counsel also argued that the body should not be allowed to decompose.

“She was the daughter-in-law of our family. It is our duty to perform her last rites,” the lawyer said.


The court observed that the body was currently kept in the AIIMS Bhopal mortuary at -4 degrees Celsius, but required -80 degrees Celsius for longer preservation, a facility unavailable anywhere in the city.


MP GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDS CBI PROBE

The development comes hours after the Madhya Pradesh government recommended handing over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation and gave its consent to transfer the investigation to the premier central agency.


"The authorisation explicitly covers the investigation of the primary offence, any abetment to the crime, and any related criminal conspiracy," the official notification issued by the Home Department of the Mohan Yadav government read.


Signed by Home Department Secretary Krishnaveni Deshavatu, the notification has been forwarded to top central and state authorities to initiate the immediate transition of the case files.
