Twisha Sharma death case: It is better to have a divorced daughter than face such an unfortunate incident, says Solicitor General.
- On Monday, the Supreme Court backed the Madhya Pradesh government's call to transfer model Twisha Sharma's death case to the Central Bureau of Investigation, citing awareness of a narrative suggesting the judiciary was denying her family a fair probe.
- Reports alleging situational bias in the state police probe prompted intervention, with concerns that Twisha's husband Samarth Singh was a practicing lawyer and her mother-in-law Giribala Singh was a retired District Judge, compromising impartiality.
- Twisha Sharma, 33, was found dead at her matrimonial home on May 12, less than six months after marriage; postmortem at AIIMS Bhopal concluded asphyxia by ligature, but her family alleged murder and destruction of evidence.
- Samarth Singh was remanded to seven days of police custody on Monday, with CBI set to assume custody and form a Special Investigation Team to record statements from both families and conduct forensic examination of the house.
- A second videographed postmortem by AIIMS Delhi experts was conducted on May 24, addressing family concerns about forensic details overlooked in the first examination, while Chief Justice Kant directed CBI to complete its probe expeditiously.
