Samarth Singh, the husband of Twisha Sharma who allegedly died by suicide, was taken into custody by the Madhya Pradesh Police on Friday, May 22, 2026, after remaining absconding for days. He faces charges of dowry death and harassment.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has allowed a second autopsy on Twisha Sharma's body, as requested by her family, who allege foul play. The court's order came on May 22, 2026, following a petition filed by the victim's father.
Twisha Sharma, a resident of Bhopal, was found dead at her home on May 18, 2026. Her family claims she was subjected to dowry demands and harassment by her husband and in-laws. The police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Dowry Prohibition Act.
Samarth Singh was produced before a local court on Saturday and remanded to police custody for further investigation. The second autopsy is expected to be conducted by a panel of doctors at a government hospital in Bhopal.
