Twisha Sharma, 33, was found dead on May 12, 2026 [1, 2] at her marital home in the Katara Hills area of Bhopal [2].

The case has drawn attention due to conflicting accounts between the victim's family and her in-laws, raising questions about potential dowry-related violence and medical negligence.

Sharma, a resident of Noida, married Samarth Singh, a lawyer, in December 2025 [1]. Following her death, her family alleged foul play and suggested the death may be linked to dowry demands [3].

In response, her mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, said that Sharma required continuous monitoring for health reasons [2]. "Twisha Sharma would say 'don't monitor me' and 'don't force me' every time she was asked to take her medicines," Giribala Singh said [2].

These claims have been challenged by a friend of the deceased who has publicly contradicted the assertion that Sharma needed such monitoring [1]. Additionally, reports indicate that key evidence from the post-mortem examination is missing [3].

Authorities have established a Special Investigation Team consisting of six members to lead the probe [4]. A lookout notice has also been issued against the husband, Samarth Singh [4].

The investigation remains ongoing as police attempt to reconcile the medical history of the deceased with the allegations of harassment, and the missing forensic evidence [1, 3].

“"Twisha Sharma would say 'don't monitor me' and 'don't force me' every time she was asked to take her medicines."”

The discrepancy between the mother-in-law's claims of medical instability and the testimony of the victim's friend suggests a struggle to establish a narrative regarding Sharma's mental and physical state prior to her death. The issuance of a lookout notice and the formation of a six-member SIT indicate that investigators view the husband's role as critical, while the missing post-mortem evidence may complicate the ability to definitively prove foul play or natural causes.
