Twisha Sharma Death Case: The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Wednesday quashed the anticipatory bail granted to former judge Giribala Singh in connection with the death of her daughter-in-law, Twisha Sharma.

Singh had approached a Bhopal session court seeking a pre-arrest bail just two days after Twisha was found hanging on the terrace of her matrimonial home on May 12.

'Justice Is Done In Twisha Case': Advocate

Senior advocate Anurag Shrivastava, who is representing the victim's family, welcomed the High Court's decision, stating, "Finally, justice is done in the Twisha case"

Speaking to news agency PTI, Shrivastava said, "As Giribala was in judicial service for 36 years... if she has any respect towards law, I think wisdom should prevail over her mind, and she should gracefully surrender before the CBI and cooperate with the investigating agency in any further investigation."

Samrath Singh Sent To CBI Custody

Earlier on Wednesday, a court in Bhopal sent Twisha Sharma's husband, Samarth Singh, to the custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). A CBI team accompanied Samarth to the Katara Hills residence of his mother, Giribala Singh, to conduct further investigations into the death of Twisha.

The CBI on Monday took over the investigation into the death of Twisha. It has re-registered the Madhya Pradesh police FIR, naming her husband, Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, as the accused.
