Twisha Sharma Dowry Death Case: Lawyer-Husband Samarth Singh Moves Madhya Pradesh High Court Seeking Anticipatory Bail

Lawyer Samarth Singh has approached the Madhya Pradesh High Court seeking anticipatory bail in a case concerning the death of his wife Twisha Sharma. Singh is booked in an FIR over allegations of cruelty and dowry harassment. 

This after a Sessions Court in Bhopal on Monday, denied Sigh anticipatory bail after noting that from the FIR and the WhatsApp chats, it appeared that the main allegations were against Singh.

As per the details available on the high court website, the plea was filed on Thursday. 

Proceedings Before Sessions Court

Earlier on Monday, Additional Sessions Judge Pallavi Dwivedi from the case diary and other material available on record, concluded that the applicant was married to the deceased on December 9, 2025, as per Hindu Customs and that the deceased died within 6 months of her marriage "under unusual circumstances".

The court had said that the FIR contains witness statements, and from a perusal of the FIR and the WhatsApp chats presented by the prosecution, it appeared that the "main allegations have been made in relation to accused Samarth Singh".

Singh had claimed that his wife exhibited symptoms of withdrawal from marijuana, including tremors in her hands, irritability, and sudden changes in her behaviour.

On the day of the incident, the petitioner had alleged that his wife was talking to her parents when, around 10:15 pm, her mother called the applicant, saying that Twish was crying and to see what was going on. When Singh's mother called Twisha, who did not answer the phone, she went downstairs to check on Twisha. The applicant's mother then went to the terrace and saw Twisha hanging from an exercise elastic band on an iron rod.
