The Central Bureau of Investigation produced Samarth Singh and his mother, Giribala Singh, before a Bhopal court Tuesday in connection with the alleged dowry-death of actress Twisha Sharma [1].

The case has drawn significant attention due to the professional background of Giribala Singh, a former district judge, and the high-profile nature of the victim's career in the arts.

Investigators presented the pair in court on June 2, 2026 [1], though some reports indicated production activities began as early as May 29 [2]. The court granted a five-day remand for both Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh [3].

During the proceedings, Giribala Singh denied the allegations against her. She said she experienced anxiety during the questioning conducted by the CBI [3]. The court subsequently rejected her application for bail [4].

As part of the ongoing investigation, the CBI has taken steps to reconstruct the events leading to the actress's death. This included the use of a dummy to recreate Sharma's final moments at the residence of Giribala Singh [5].

The probe focuses on whether the death was the result of harassment related to dowry demands. The CBI is currently examining evidence from the Katara Hills residence where the recreation took place [5].

“The court granted a five-day remand for both Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh.”

The involvement of a former member of the judiciary as a primary suspect increases the legal scrutiny of the case. By utilizing forensic recreations and securing remand, the CBI is attempting to establish a physical timeline of events to prove or disprove the dowry-death allegations in a high-stakes environment.
