CBI recreated the crime scene in the Twisha Sharma dowry-harassment case using a dummy body at the residence of accused ex-judge Giribala Singh. Meanwhile, a silent protest was held in Noida demanding justice for Twisha, who died on May 12.
A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team on Monday visited the residence of former district judge Giribala Singh, accused in the Twisha Sharma dowry-harassment case, and actively recreated the crime scene. As part of the ongoing probe, the team used a dummy body to gather crucial evidence in the presence of accused Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh.
Protests Demand Justice
On Sunday, a silent protest was held demanding justice in the death of Twisha Sharma in Uttar Pradesh’s Noida. The protest comes after Sharma, a resident of Noida, died in Bhopal on May 12 after allegedly being subjected to mental torture and dowry harassment by her husband and his family.
Twisha Sharma was married to Bhopal resident Samarth Singh in December 2025. Following her death on May 12, her family alleged that she was harassed for dowry by her husband and in-laws. The case involves serious allegations under the newly implemented Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.
Speaking to ANI, Twisha’s brother, Major Harshit Sharma, said that they have full faith that the truth will come out. “This case is no longer about Twisha. We are gathered here today to express the unity that we are feeling. So many people have come up to support us. A gathering was organised by the society, and we are here to attend that… We have full faith that the truth will come out,” he told ANI.
Earlier on May 29, the ashes of 33-year-old Twisha Sharma, the victim of the high-profile Bhopal alleged dowry death case, were immersed in the Ganga River in Rishikesh. Her father, Navnidhi Sharma, stated that his daughter had a deep attachment to Rishikesh and to the Ganga River.
