A Bhopal Court, on Friday (May 29), remanded Twisha Sharma's husband Samarth Singh and her mother-in-law Giribala Singh to 5-day CBI custody, who are booked in an alleged case of dowry death.
As per PTI report, the court allowed CBI's plea seeking custody of the husband and mother-in-law.
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 but was denied the same. 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 retired judge Giribala Singh by the Trial Court.
