MP Govt Moves High Court To Cancel Giri Bala's Bail In Daughter-In-Law Twisha Sharma's Death Case

Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh government is set to move the High Court to cancel the bail granted to former judge Giri Bala Singh, who is one of the accused in the suspicious death of her daughter-in-law Twisha Sharma.

Twisha Sharma's family has accused Giri Bala Singh of a “judicial cover-up”, claiming that she made frantic phone calls to several judges and influential figures shortly after Twisha’s death.

According to the family, she made over 40 phone calls to judges, ministry-linked individuals and influential figures shortly after Twisha’s death in Bhopal. Twisha’s father released a list of purported mobile numbers contacted by Giri Bala.

Calls logs accessed by Republic TV revealed that she allegedly dialled a district judge nine times and also contacted CCTV operators and Lokayukta-associated people.

She also called her son, Samarth Singh, after he fled. Notably, Samarth is still absconding and a lookout circular has been issued against him, with police also offering Rs 30,000 as reward for any information leading to his arrest.

Advocate Ankur Pandey said, “Giri Bala called so many influential people after Twisha’s death, but did not make a single call to the victim's family.”

Twisha's family has alleged that her connections with influential people may have impacted the course of the investigation.

Singh's daughter-in-law Twisha Sharma, who was former Miss Pune, was found hanging at her matrimonial home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on the night of May 12 under suspicious circumstances. She had married Bhopal-based lawyer Samarth Singh in December 2025, roughly five months before her death.

The official post-mortem cited hanging as the cause of death, but her family pointed to multiple injury marks on her body, alleging that she was murdered, and did not commit suicide. It is also alleged that Twisha terminated her pregnancy after her husband questioned her whose child she was carrying, accusing her of having extra-marital affair.
