The Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a 31-page chargesheet in a Bhopal court regarding the death of Twisha Sharma. A second medical board from AIIMS Delhi has confirmed the cause of death as suicide by hanging.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has submitted a 31-page chargesheet in a special court in Bhopal, concluding its investigation into the death of Twisha Sharma. This formal filing follows an exhaustive probe into the circumstances leading to the death of the former model and actor. The agency has formally charged the victim's husband, Samarth Singh, and her mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, with abetment to suicide, cruelty, and offenses related to dowry harassment.
AIIMS Autopsy Report Findings
A pivotal part of the investigation involved a second post-mortem examination ordered to address concerns raised by the victim's family regarding the accuracy of the initial findings. A medical board of experts from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi conducted this re-examination. The board confirmed the findings of the earlier local autopsy, concluding that the cause of death was asphyxia caused by hanging. The medical report explicitly stated that there were no signs of physical struggle or external injury that would indicate assault prior to death.
Chargesheet Details and Allegations
The CBI's investigation reconstructed the events leading up to the incident by analyzing digital records, CCTV footage, and testimonies. The chargesheet details a pattern of persistent mental harassment and psychological abuse that the victim allegedly faced within her marital home. According to the investigation, the accused individuals subjected the victim to repeated humiliation and mental cruelty. The probe also highlighted the role of the mother-in-law, a retired district judge, alleging she actively instigated her son and shielded him when the victim raised concerns about his behavior.
Current Legal Status
The accused, Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh, are currently in judicial custody. The case has drawn significant public attention due to the high-profile nature of the individuals involved and the allegations of systemic domestic abuse. The CBI has focused on evidence including phone records and messages that document the strained relationship and the psychological distress the victim reported in her final days. With the chargesheet now filed, the case will proceed through the judicial process, where the court will hear the arguments and evidence presented by the prosecution regarding the allegations of abetment and cruelty.
