The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has reconstructed the final hours of 34-year-old Twisha Sharma in a 600-page chargesheet filed on August 14.
The agency has accused her husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh of subjecting her to sustained mental cruelty and abetting her suicide.
The chargesheet draws on WhatsApp messages, phone calls, CCTV footage, medical records, counselling sessions, family statements and financial allegations to trace the events leading to Twisha’s death on May 12.
At 09:36 PM, Twisha texted her sister-in-law, ‘Let me die in peace’. Four minutes later, CCTV footage allegedly showed her walking towards the terrace.
At 09:41 PM, Twisha called her father while crying and allegedly said Samarth had become aggressive and violent. She reportedly asked her parents to come to her immediately. Around 10:05 PM, she spoke to her mother and repeated her concerns.
The CBI alleges that Samarth and Giribala went towards the terrace at around 10:23 PM.
Twisha was later brought downstairs and taken to AIIMS Bhopal, where doctors declared her brought dead at around 10:55 PM.
According to the CBI, Twisha met Samarth through a dating app in February 2025 and married him in December.
The agency alleges Twisha faced repeated mental cruelty, disputes over her past and pressure over her ₹20 lakh investments and pregnancy.
An AIIMS Delhi board concluded that Twisha died from ante-mortem hanging and classified the death as suicide.
The CBI alleges prolonged mental cruelty led to her death.
The investigation remains ongoing.
The agency is awaiting forensic extraction of Twisha’s iPhone and examining CCTV footage, voice recordings and other evidence. It has sought permission to continue investigating allegations related to dowry demand and dowry death.
