Twisha Sharma Death Case: Madhya Pradesh HC Cancels Mother-in-Law's Bail
The court said the trial judge ignored key prosecution evidence and injuries on Twisha Sharma’s body, and the CBI may seek custodial interrogation.
- On Wednesday, the Madhya Pradesh High Court quashed the anticipatory bail of retired Bhopal district judge Giribala Singh, rejecting a May 15 decision by a local Sessions court in the Twisha Sharma death case.
- The High Court observed that Twisha Sharma's body bore antemortem injuries not caused by hospital handling, while WhatsApp chats indicated she faced pressure from in-laws to terminate her pregnancy.
- On Wednesday, a local Bhopal court transferred custody of Samarth Singh, Sharma's husband, to the Central Bureau of Investigation, which took over the probe on May 25.
- Solicitor General Tushar Mehta argued the trial court ignored relevant facts when granting bail, and the High Court's ruling now removes legal hurdles for the CBI to arrest Giribala Singh immediately.
- Senior advocate Anurag Shrivastava, representing the victim's family, stated, "Finally justice is done," as Giribala Singh now faces potential arrest following her 36 years of judicial service.
