The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a 636-page chargesheet in connection with the death of former model and actress Twisha Sharma, naming retired district judge Giribala Singh and her son, Samarth Singh, as accused. Both accused are currently in judicial custody and have moved the Madhya Pradesh High Court seeking bail.
The CBI subsequently re-registered the case and arrested the two accused. Samarth was arrested first, while Giribala was arrested after the Madhya Pradesh High Court quashed her anticipatory bail. Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh remain in judicial custody as they await the court’s consideration of their bail pleas.
The CBI’s chargesheet now formally places the agency’s findings before the court.
They also alleged that she was under pressure during her pregnancy, which the family said was discovered in April 2026. Twisha’s family alleged that she had faced prolonged harassment over dowry, along with mental and physical cruelty.
A special CBI court had directed the agency to file the chargesheet by August 17. Twisha, 33, a former model and actress who had earlier won the Miss Pune title, was from Greater Noida. She married Bhopal-based advocate Samarth Singh in December 2025.
The chargesheet was filed after an extensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Twisha’s death in Bhopal. Investigators examined forensic evidence, digital material and other aspects of the case, besides conducting a recreation of the scene. Samarth is the son of Giribala Singh, a retired district judge who had served in Bhopal. The Madhya Pradesh government later recommended a CBI investigation, following which the Supreme Court took cognisance and directed the central agency to take over the case.
