A Bhopal Court on Tuesday (June 2) remanded Twisha Sharma's husband Samarth Singh and her mother-in-law Giribala Singh to 14-day judicial custody, who are booked in an alleged case of dowry death.

As per PTI report, the court sent the two to judicial custody today. On Friday, the court had remanded the two to CBI custody for five days. 

Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old woman, was found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal on May 12. An FIR has been lodged under BNS Sections 80(2) (dowry death), 85 (cruelty) and 3(5) (common intention) and Sections 3 (giving or taking dowry) and 4 (demanding dowry) of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

The husband, had applied for anticipatory bail before the trial court which was denied. He later approached the High Court, but withdrew the petition with permission to surrender before the Trial Court.

The mother-in-law was granted anticipatory bail by the trial court on May 15, on the grounds that the FIR and WhatsApp chats were directly against her son. Aggrieved, the State as well as Twisha's parents moved before the high court. The Madhya Pradesh High Court, on May 27, quashed the anticipatory bail granted to Giribala Singh.
