Twisha Sharma Case: Accused Husband Samarth Singh Taken to AIIMS For Medical Examination Ahead of Court Appearance

Bhopal: In a major development in the ongoing investigation into the suspicious death of former model Twisha Sharma, a specialised police team on Wednesday morning escorted the prime accused, her husband, Samarth Singh, out of the Katara Hills police station to undergo mandatory medical procedures.

The high-profile movement is part of a tightly coordinated legal and investigative protocol as the state-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) prepares to officially hand over the custody of the accused to central investigators.

Medical Examination at AIIMS Bhopal

A heavily guarded police escort brought Samarth Singh directly to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Hospital in Bhopal. 

According to police sources, Samarth will undergo a comprehensive medical examination at the facility to ensure procedural compliance before he is processed further through the judicial system.

The medical evaluation is standard protocol before an accused is presented in court, particularly in high-profile cases under rigorous public and judicial scrutiny. 

Following the completion of his medical tests at AIIMS, the police team will transport Samarth directly to the Bhopal Court.

Handover to the CBI 

The case took a decisive turn earlier this week when the Supreme Court of India called for a completely free, fair, and independent investigation, prompting the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to step in and re-register the criminal case.

The local SIT, which had been holding Samarth on a seven-day police remand at the Katara Hills police station following his arrest from Jabalpur, is highly likely to officially hand him over to the CBI team today. 

The central agency's Special Crime Unit has already arrived in Bhopal to take over all original case documents, physical evidence, and digital logs.

Background of the case

Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old resident of Noida, was found hanging under highly mysterious circumstances at her matrimonial home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on May 12, just five months after marrying Samarth, an advocate and the son of retired district judge Giribala Singh.

While her in-laws have consistently maintained that Twisha struggled with mental distress and died by suicide, her grieving family has forcefully alleged foul play. 

Twisha’s parents have accused the husband and his mother of severe dowry harassment, relentless physical and mental abuse, and a deliberate conspiracy to destroy evidence post-incident.

With Samarth heading to court today and the CBI poised to assume complete control of the interrogation, the investigation enters a critical phase aimed at uncovering the definitive truth behind the young actor's tragic death.
