Retd Judge & her son sent to CBI custody in connection with twisha death case
A special CBI court in Bhopal today remanded former district judge Giribala Singh and her son Samarth Singh to CBI custody till June 2 in connection with the death of actor-model Twisha Sharma.The court granted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) five days’ custody to both accused, allowing the central agency to conduct detailed interrogation as part of its probe into the high-profile case.
The development comes a day after the CBI arrested Giribala Singh following hours of questioning at her residence in Bhopal. Her arrest followed the rejection of her anticipatory bail plea by the Madhya Pradesh High Court.In a striking turn of events, Giribala Singh, who once presided over court proceedings as a district judge, appeared before the special CBI court as an accused in the case involving the death of her daughter-in-law, Twisha Sharma.
The CBI is investigating allegations of dowry harassment, cruelty, criminal conspiracy and other offences linked to the death of Twisha, who was found dead on May 12 under suspicious circumstances.
As per the agency’s FIR, Twisha married Samarth Singh on December 9, 2025. Her family has alleged that she was subjected to repeated mental and physical harassment by her husband and in-laws over dowry demands soon after the marriage.
Initial police findings and the post-mortem examination indicated that Twisha died due to hanging. Medical reports reportedly described the death as a case of “antemortem hanging”, suggesting that the hanging occurred while she was alive.
However, investigators also found multiple injury marks on various parts of her body. According to findings cited in the FIR, the injuries appeared consistent with either physical assault or impact from a heavy object, prompting investigators to examine the circumstances surrounding her death more closely.
The CBI, which recently took over the investigation, has sought preservation of Call Detail Records (CDRs) and tower location data linked to mobile numbers connected with the case. The agency is also examining forensic and medical evidence and may recreate the crime scene as part of its investigation.
The probe was transferred to the CBI after the Madhya Pradesh government granted consent under Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, following which the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) authorised the agency to conduct a comprehensive investigation.Further investigation is underway.
