Twisha Sharma Death Case: Bhopal Court Rejects Lawyer Husband Samarth Singh’s Bail Plea in Dowry Harassment Case
Was Twisha Sharma facing harassment after marriage, or is there more to the story behind her death? A Bhopal court has now rejected the anticipatory bail plea of her lawyer husband while police continue the investigation.
MADHYA PRADESH: A Bhopal court on Monday (May 18th) rejected the anticipatory bail plea of lawyer Samarth Singh in the death case of his wife Twisha Sharma, who was recently found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal.
Twisha Sharma, who was based in Noida and was also known as a former Miss Pune winner, had married Bhopal-based lawyer Samarth Singh around five months ago. Reports say the couple met through a dating application in 2024 before getting married.
After marriage, Twisha shifted to Bhopal to live with her husband and his family. Samarth Singh’s mother, Giribala Singh, is a retired judge and is currently serving as the President of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.

Twisha’s family has accused her husband and in-laws of physical and mental harassment. They have alleged that she was subjected to domestic violence and dowry-related pressure after marriage. The family has also demanded a second post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered at Katara Hills police station in connection with the case. According to reports, Samarth Singh and his mother have been booked for dowry harassment.
Additional District Sessions Judge Pallavi Dwivedi rejected the anticipatory bail plea filed by Samarth Singh. Police reportedly informed the court that he is currently avoiding arrest.

Meanwhile, Giribala Singh had earlier received anticipatory bail from a sessions court on May 15.
During the bail hearing, the defence raised questions regarding Twisha Sharma’s mental health and medical treatment. Samarth Singh’s lawyer argued that investigators should examine the medicines she was allegedly taking and look deeper into her mental health condition.
The defence also questioned financial aspects and whether there were any other personal issues affecting her state of mind.

Police investigation in the matter is currently ongoing, and further legal action will depend on forensic findings, witness statements, digital evidence, and the final medical reports submitted before the court.
