Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The retired judge and mother-in-law of the deceased actress Twisha Sharma, Giribala Singh, allegedly complained of anxiety and nervousness during the CBI investigation, as reported on Sunday.
Notably, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is investigating the death of actress Twisha Sharma, has secured a five-day remand for her husband and prime accused, Samarth Singh, and her mother-in-law, Giribala Singh.
As Girbala was being interrogated, she allegedly repeatedly cited uneasiness, said the sources.
At present, a woman DSP of the CBI has been continuously interrogating her as part of the ongoing investigation.
It is said the agency focused its questioning on allegations related to tampering with the alleged crime scene, CCTV footage, and the preservation of digital evidence.
Investigators reportedly sought explanations regarding the serious allegations mentioned in the FIR registered against her.
The CBI is also said to have asked why, despite accusations made by the complainant's side, her role in the case should be considered limited.
However, Giribala Singh reportedly denied all allegations and described them as baseless.
