The Madhya Pradesh government has proposed to transfer the investigation into the death of 22-year-old Twisha Sharma to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The decision comes amid growing demands for a fair and impartial probe into the case.
Background of the Case
Twisha Sharma, a resident of Bhopal, was found dead under mysterious circumstances on March 12, 2025. Her family alleged foul play and claimed that she was murdered. The initial investigation was conducted by the local police, but the family expressed dissatisfaction with the progress and demanded a CBI inquiry.
Government's Decision
State Home Minister Narottam Mishra announced the proposal on Tuesday, stating that the government has recommended the case to the CBI for a thorough investigation. "We want to ensure justice for Twisha and her family. The CBI will conduct a fair and transparent probe," Mishra said.
Family's Reaction
Twisha's father, Rajesh Sharma, welcomed the decision but urged the government to expedite the process. "We have been demanding a CBI probe from the beginning. We hope the truth will come out soon," he said.
Political Reactions
The opposition Congress party criticized the delay in transferring the case, accusing the government of trying to shield the accused. Congress spokesperson Pankaj Mishra said, "The government should have handed over the case to the CBI immediately. The delay raises questions."
Next Steps
The state government has sent the proposal to the central government for approval. Once approved, the CBI will take over the investigation and file a fresh FIR. The agency will also review the evidence collected by the local police.
Twisha's family has been staging protests demanding justice. The case has also sparked outrage on social media, with many calling for a speedy trial.
