The Madhya Pradesh High Court has denied bail to former judge Giribala Singh in the case of her daughter-in-law Twisha Sharma's death, citing ongoing investigations and pending forensic reports. The court emphasized the need for further investigation into the allegations of mental harassment and the circumstances surrounding Sharma's death. Key evidence, including data from Sharma's phone and CCTV footage, is still being analyzed. Giribala Singh and her son, Samarth Singh, have been in judicial custody since June 2, 2026, facing charges related to dowry death and abetment of suicide.
The court's decision was based on the severity of the allegations, the material collected during the investigation, and the circumstances preceding Sharma's death. The court noted that crucial forensic reports and digital evidence are still awaited, and any tampering with the evidence could necessitate further investigation. The court also highlighted the need to examine the conduct of the accused after the incident, including alleged communications with influential persons.
