Retired district court judge Giribala Singh, the mother-in-law of deceased Twisha Sharma, has categorically denied allegations levelled against her family in the high-profile Bhopal death case, asserting that facts were being 'misconstrued' and calling for a comprehensive investigation into chats, financial transactions, and a mysterious car key found in Twisha's belongings. Her remarks come as the Special Investigation Team (SIT) continues its probe into the circumstances surrounding Twisha's death on 12 May 2025.

Family Denies Wrongdoing, Cites CCTV Evidence

Speaking to reporters, Giribala Singh maintained that the family had treated Twisha with respect and made every effort to save her life. 'The daughter who was in our house, our daughter-in-law, whom we treated with great respect. We tried till the very last moment to save her life and keep her with us. But the way things are being misconstrued is completely wrong,' she said.

She pointed to CCTV footage installed at the family's residence as potential evidence to establish the sequence of events. 'It is a good thing that there are CCTV cameras in the house. Until we saw it ourselves, we had no access to that area because it was on the terrace,' she noted.

Disputed Chats, Pregnancy Claims, and Contradictions

Responding to allegations surrounding Twisha's pregnancy and messages allegedly recovered during the investigation, Singh questioned both the authenticity and interpretation of the chats. She claimed Twisha had told her in the hospital that she had 'consumed a lot of marijuana' and did not wish to continue the pregnancy — an account, Singh argued, that contradicts what Twisha allegedly told her parents in the disputed messages.

'If allegations are being made against Samarth, then how can her statements be considered true?' Singh asked, referring to her son Samarth Singh, an advocate at Bhopal district court who has been absconding since Twisha's death.

Mysterious Volkswagen Car Key Raises Questions

A key development flagged by Singh concerns a Volkswagen car key reportedly found inside Twisha's backpack during the SIT inspection. 'When the SIT team came in front of me and was checking her backpack, there was a key inside it which has not been seized by us. We want it to be investigated. There is no Volkswagen car at our place, and our daughter-in-law also didn't know how to drive a car. Even at her parental home, there is no Volkswagen car,' she said.

The origin of the key remains unexplained and is now a focal point of the family's counter-narrative.

Demand for Call Records and Financial Scrutiny

Singh further demanded that investigators examine Twisha's call records and trace where money transferred to her account was spent. 'That is why we want her call details and we also want to know where the money that was transferred to her was spent. Now, everything has come under suspicion,' she said. She also claimed the family had no physical or verbal contact with Twisha from 9:40 pm onwards on the night in question, and called on Twisha's mother to explain what she knew of her daughter's state at that time.

Legal Status and Parallel Demands by Twisha's Family

An FIR has been registered against both Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh in connection with the case. A Bhopal district court granted interim bail to Giribala Singh on Saturday, while Samarth's bail application was rejected by Justice Pallavi Dwivedi on Monday. Samarth remains at large.

Twisha's parents, meanwhile, have been pressing for a second post-mortem at AIIMS, New Delhi since 13 May. Her father Navnidhi Sharma has approached the Governor of Madhya Pradesh, urging that Giribala Singh be removed or suspended from her quasi-judicial responsibilities at the Bhopal Consumer Court pending the outcome of the investigation. The SIT probe is ongoing, with public attention on the case continuing to intensify.
