Full story
Twisha Sharma, a former model and actor, was found dead at her marital home just a few months after her marriage to advocate Samarth Singh. Her family accused her husband and in-laws of dowry harassment, mental torture and domestic violence. An FIR was later registered under sections related to dowry death and cruelty against husband and relatives.
The Supreme Court later recommended a CBI inquiry to ensure a fair and independent probe.
Meanwhile, Samarth Singh was earlier arrested in Jabalpur after remaining absconding for several days.
A Bhopal court later sent him to police remand. A second postmortem of Twisha Sharma was also conducted by AIIMS-Delhi doctors after her family raised concerns over the initial investigation.
