CBI cites Rs 20 lakh dispute in Twisha death case

NDTV··20 Aug

The CBI chargesheet records a dispute over Rs 20 lakh in Twisha Sharma's demat account. It says Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh pressed her to move the money to a joint State Bank of India account opened on 7 April 2026. Twisha refused, saying the funds belonged to her father. She died at her Bhopal home on 12 May.

What It Means For You

  • If you keep a personal demat account after marriage, the chargesheet says Twisha's Rs 20 lakh holding became a repeated demand to move funds into a joint account.
  • Anyone following the Bhopal case can note the CBI has not charged a physical killing. It alleges mental cruelty and abetment of suicide.
  • If you are a relative who received a last-day call, the record says Twisha spoke at 7.51 pm about the Chinese share-market pressure.

What's Happening

  • The 30-page chargesheet was filed against Samarth Singh and former judge Giribala Singh before a special court in Bhopal.
  • The agency says a joint SBI account was opened on 7 April at Bagmugaliya, and that Twisha refused to transfer the demat money.
  • The CBI said the alleged dowry angle was being investigated separately from the money-trail facts already placed on record.

What The Final Evening Timeline Records

  • Twisha, 34, was found dead at the Katara Hills house on 12 May, five months after the December 2025 wedding.
  • CCTV cited in the chargesheet shows Giribala leaving her room at 10.16 pm, calling Twisha's phone at 10.18 pm, and then going toward the terrace with Samarth, where Twisha was found.
  • The Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered a second postmortem by an AIIMS Delhi board after the family objected to the AIIMS Bhopal report.
