The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team probing the death of 33-year-old model-turned-actor Twisha Sharma is expected to scrutinize her pregnancy and its medical termination, considering this a crucial element in reconstructing the events that led to her demise.
Background of the Case
Twisha, the daughter-in-law of retired judge Giribala Singh, was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal's Katara Hills on May 12. Her in-laws alleged she died by suicide, while her parents accused them of murder following prolonged dowry harassment. Her husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law have been arrested.
Investigation Details
Sources familiar with the probe said investigators are likely to summon a doctor who allegedly performed Twisha's medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) and a psychiatrist who examined her shortly before her death. The CBI is expected to review medical records, establish a timeline of the pregnancy and termination, and examine consent-related issues and interactions involving Twisha, her relatives, and medical professionals.
Investigators are assessing whether circumstances surrounding the MTP contributed to emotional distress or provide clues relevant to the case. The CBI is also expected to seek details from the psychiatrist regarding Twisha's mental and emotional condition in the days before her death, including any signs of trauma, distress, or behavioral changes.
Next Steps
The probe aims to determine the sequence of events and any potential foul play. The CBI will also look into the alleged dowry harassment and the role of the family members. The case continues to unfold as investigators gather evidence and statements.
