NDTV··19 Aug
The CBI has filed a chargesheet against Samarth Singh and his mother, Giribala Singh, in the death of Twisha Sharma, found at her Bhopal home on 12 May 2026. The agency says both caused mental cruelty that left her no choice except to end her life. The couple married on 9 December 2025. Her family alleged harassment and dowry demands.

What It Means For You
- If you are following this Bhopal case, the CBI has now put its accusations in a chargesheet before a special court, so the next stage is the trial court's cognisance, not a new police inquiry.
- Anyone reading the May FIR can note the agency has added abetment of suicide to cruelty and dowry-related sections already used in the first complaint.
- If you track the medical timeline, the chargesheet discusses a 7 May hospital visit and a medical termination that a doctor said could not be reversed.
What's Happening
- The CBI filed the chargesheet in Bhopal in mid-August 2026.
- Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh are the two named accused.
- Twisha Sharma was found dead at the Katara Hills residence on the night of 12 May.
What The Filed Record Says About The Final Week
- The CBI says Twisha took a second MTP dose on 8 May and that investigators recorded complaints about how her pain was treated at home.
- The agency also cites texts, including a message that she would find a way to vanish, sent days before her death.
- Giribala Singh is a retired district judge; Samarth Singh is a lawyer. An AIIMS board later told a court-ordered process that the cause of death was hanging.
