Her family alleges that Twisha was subjected to dowry-related torture by her husband and mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh, accusing them of murder. The Singhs deny these claims, suggesting Twisha had mental health struggles and took her own life. They maintain that Twisha chose to terminate a pregnancy, contradicting her family's allegations of coercion and abuse.
The case gained further momentum after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over the probe, arresting Giribala Singh following lengthy questioning. This came after the Madhya Pradesh High Court revoked her anticipatory bail, citing overlooked evidence and witness testimonies. Samarth Singh, who reportedly fled after Twisha's death, was arrested in Jabalpur on May 22 and remains in custody.
Twisha's family, distrustful of the initial post-mortem, pushed for a second autopsy before her cremation. The police denied accusations of any cover-up. The heartbreaking incident has spotlighted the persistent issue of dowry deaths in India, a practice outlawed since 1961 yet still claiming thousands of lives annually.
This case, involving a prominent family with legal backgrounds and a former beauty queen, continues to captivate the nation as it unfolds, raising urgent questions about justice and the enduring battle against dowry-related violence.
