Police in Bhopal are reinvestigating the death of Twisha Sharma after new CCTV footage surfaced showing the victim on a rooftop [1].
The development is critical because the footage contradicts previous assumptions about the timeline of events and raises questions about potential foul play in the death of the 33-year-old [1].
Sharma, a resident of Noida and former Miss Pune, died on 12 May 2026 [1]. The incident occurred at her marital home in the Katara Hills neighborhood of Bhopal, India [1]. Sharma married her husband, Samarth Singh, a Bhopal-based lawyer, in December 2025 [1].
The newly released surveillance video shows Sharma walking toward the rooftop of the residence [2]. Approximately one hour later, the footage captures Singh carrying her body back down from the roof [2]. This gap in time has become a central point of interest for investigators as they determine what occurred during that interval.
Conflicting reports have emerged regarding the forensic evidence in the case. Some reports indicate that key evidence is missing from the post-mortem examination [3]. Other reports state that new post-mortem findings hint at foul play, suggesting the possibility of murder [4].
The investigation remains active as police reconcile these forensic discrepancies with the visual evidence from the CCTV cameras. Families of the couple have made conflicting allegations regarding the circumstances of the death [1].
Singh's role in the events leading up to the discovery of the body is now under increased scrutiny due to the timing of the footage [2]. Authorities have not yet released a formal cause of death, but the probe has intensified following the discovery of the video [2, 4].
“CCTV footage shows Twisha Sharma walking to the rooftop and her husband carrying her body down an hour later.”
The emergence of the CCTV footage transforms the case from a mysterious death into a targeted criminal investigation. By establishing a specific one-hour window of unaccounted time on the rooftop, investigators can now challenge the initial narrative provided by witnesses and focus on the physical movements of the husband, Samarth Singh, during the critical moments of the incident.
