Twisha Sharma's mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, was recently presented in the Bhopal High Court amid the actress's death case, with CBI seeking a five-day remand to piece together what happened.
Twisha Sharma's passing on May 12, 2026, has left everyone stunned. Ever since the news first surfaced online, netizens have been keeping a close eye on every update. Amid that, the latest reports have revealed that CBI has sought a five-day remand for the actress's mother-in-law, Giribala Singh and her husband, Samarth Singh. So, as the buzz around Twisha's death takes a new turn, let's see what happened during the recent court hearing.
Following the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision to quash Giribala Singh's anticipatory bail, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has made stern calls, seeking to keep Giribala and her son, Samarth Singh, in police custody for five days. The development comes hours after CBI arrested Twisha Sharma's mother-in-law on Thursday, May 28, 2026. According to the reports, the CBI told the court that custodial interrogation was extremely necessary in the case, especially to piece together the events that led to Twisha's death.
CBI further alleged that having the accused in custody would also help them examine allegations of dowry harassment, cruelty and possible destruction of evidence. For the unversed, the Supreme Court transferred the probe to the CBI after concerns about "institutional bias" made an independent investigation inevitable. Since then, the probe has been intensified, and Samarth Singh, who was arrested by the state SIT from Jabalpur, has also been handed over to the CBI. Additionally, CBI has also recreated the crime scene at Twisha Sharma's Bhopal residence and carried out detailed videography and forensic examination.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has cancelled Giribala Singh's anticipatory bail, citing WhatsApp chats, injury marks on Twisha Sharma's body and allegations of harassment as the significant factors for custodial interrogation. Sources have alleged that the CBI has also been examining claims related to dowry demands and an alleged attempt to malign Twisha's character. For the unversed, Giribala was arrested by the CBI after an over-seven-hour interrogation session on May 28, 2026. The Bhopal court has now reserved its order on the CBI's plea seeking seven-day police custody of both accused.
The legal proceedings surrounding Twisha Sharma's death have been fast-tracked following the growing buzz and the circumstances around the case. Madhya Pradesh High Court was in session to explore the details surrounding the unnatural death of Twisha Sharma, scheduling an urgent hearing for May 27 at 2:30 PM, and directed the case to CBI, asking them to proceed with the matter expeditiously. It also urged both the family of the deceased victim, Twisha Sharma, and the accused persons, Twisha's husband, Samarth Singh, and her mother-in-law, Girilbala Singh, to refrain from making public statements.
Giribala Singh is now facing some serious charges under Section 80(2) for dowry death, Section 85 for cruelty to a woman by her husband or relatives, and Section 3(5) for acts done by several persons in furtherance of a common intention. However, that is not all. Apart from these, she has also been booked under Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
Twisha Sharma was a well-known actress and model. She tied the knot with Samarth Singh, hoping to live a happy and prosperous life. However, her marital bliss was short-lived, and she was found hanging at her marital home in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area on May 12, 2026. The case triggered nationwide outrage after her family alleged sustained harassment and raised questions over the initial investigation, especially because her husband, Samarth Singh, is a practising lawyer and Giribala Singh is a retired judicial officer.
