Twisha Sharma's dowry death case took a significant turn on 22 May when her legal team released a list of mobile numbers allegedly contacted by retired Bhopal judge Giribala Singh in the days following her daughter-in-law's death. The list, sourced from documents submitted by Giribala Singh's own counsel, purportedly shows calls made to IAS officers, IPS officers, judges, doctors, and CCTV operators between 12 May and 14 May.

What the Call List Allegedly Reveals

According to Twisha Sharma's lawyer, the released list includes calls allegedly made to Samarth Singh (Twisha's husband, currently absconding), Dr Rajbala Singh Bhadauria, Manu Shrivastava (IAS, Bhopal), Justice Satyendra Kumar Singh of the Lokayukta, and Rohit Vishwakarma and Vinod Wani, both reportedly associated with CCTV operations. The lawyer's statement alleged that the Station House Officer of Katara Hills police station was also among those in communication with the accused after the incident.

The legal team alleged that these contacts, spanning influential sections of the judiciary, administration, and law enforcement, raise serious questions about the impartiality of the ongoing investigation into Twisha's death.

Family's Fight for Justice

Twisha Sharma's family has maintained that she was murdered by her in-laws and has demanded a second post-mortem examination. According to her lawyer, the family continues to struggle before investigative agencies and courts while the accused allegedly received support from within the system. The statement further claimed that Twisha Sharma was still awaiting a second post-mortem at AIIMS Bhopal as of the date of the disclosure.

Twisha Sharma, 33, was a model and actor who died on the night of 12 May under suspicious circumstances, within months of her marriage to Samarth Singh. Police have maintained that she died by suicide, a conclusion her family has contested.

Giribala Singh's Counter-Claims

Giribala Singh, the former district judge in Bhopal and current Chairperson of the Consumer Forum, was granted interim bail on 15 May after furnishing a bond of ₹50,000. She has since approached the court alleging that an audio clip and WhatsApp chats widely circulated in the media are fabricated, and has sought a court-monitored investigation into their 'original source.'

She has also alleged procedural lapses in the seizure of DVRs linked to CCTV cameras installed at the residence, requesting the court to re-examine the DVRs and conduct fresh verification of sealed recordings.

Background and Key Allegations

Samarth Singh, a lawyer and Twisha's husband, remains absconding. His mother, Giribala Singh, has accused Twisha of drug abuse and mental health issues. However, police officials have stated that no evidence of drug consumption was found in the post-mortem report — directly contradicting that claim.

This is the latest in a series of escalating allegations in the case, which has drawn attention to the alleged role of influential networks in shaping — or obstructing — the course of the investigation. With a second post-mortem pending and a key accused still at large, the case is far from resolved.
