Twisha Sharma Death Case Likely to be Handed Over to CBI Soon; SIT Recreates Crime Scene, Questions Twisha's Mother-in-law
The high-profile case involving the death of Twisha Sharma is now set to be transferred from the state police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Following the preliminary investigation, the post-mortem report, and the allegations leveled by Twisha's family, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Bhopal Police spent the entire day on Monday gathering documents related to the case. These included witness statements, medical records, digital evidence, and the complete case diary.
According to sources, a CBI team from Delhi has already arrived in Bhopal and is expected to officially take over the investigation on Tuesday.
SIT Recreates Crime Scene
Around 8 PM on Monday, the SIT took the accused husband, Samarth Singh, to his residence located in Bagmugalia Extension, under the jurisdiction of the Katara Hills Police Station. Investigators reconstructed the sequence of events that took place at the house and closely examined the scene.
According to police sources, Samarth told investigators that he had gone up to the terrace while searching for Twisha and subsequently brought her down with the assistance of his cousin and a domestic help. He also claimed that attempts were made to revive her using CPR on the staircase. The police spent approximately 30 minutes closely scrutinizing this sequence of events.
SIT questions Twisha's mother-in-law
Late on Sunday night, the SIT also questioned Twisha's mother-in-law, retired Judge Giribala Singh. It is reported that investigators asked her questions regarding family relations, disputes that arose after the marriage, and other matters pertinent to the case. Officials are now corroborating her statements with technical and circumstantial evidence. Sources indicated that another round of questioning may be conducted if deemed necessary.
High Court to Hear Bail Matter on May 27
Meanwhile, the Jabalpur High Court heard petitions seeking the cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to Giribala Singh by a district court in Bhopal. After both parties requested additional time to file their responses, Justice Devanarayan scheduled the next hearing for May 27 at 2:30 PM.
