‘Positive message’: Twisha Sharma’s father welcomes HC order cancelling mother-in-law’s bail

The father of Twisha Sharma on Thursday welcomed the Madhya Pradesh High Court’s decision to cancel the anticipatory bail granted to his daughter’s mother-in-law, calling it an important step in the family’s fight for justice.

Speaking to ANI, Navnidhi Sharma said the court’s intervention had strengthened the family’s faith in the judicial process and expressed hope that the ongoing CBI investigation would uncover the truth behind his daughter’s death. He also thanked those who had supported the family since the case came to light.

“This has sent a profoundly positive message throughout society. I have confidence in the judicial process, specifically in CBI, that they will unearth and bring the absolute truth to light,” Sharma said.

This comes after the Madhya Pradesh High Court on Wednesday quashed the anticipatory bail granted to Giribala Singh and set aside the relief previously granted to her on May 15 by the 10th Additional Sessions Judge in Bhopal.

Giribala Singh faces charges under Section 80(2) for dowry death, Section 85 for cruelty to a woman by her husband or relatives, and Section 3(5) for acts done by several persons in furtherance of a common intention. Additionally, she has been booked under Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

Earlier today, a team of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had arrived at the Bhopal residence of Giribala Singh, the mother-in-law of Twisha Sharma, after the Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected her anticipatory bail plea in connection with the Twisha Sharma death case.

The development comes after the High Court took a serious note of the evidence presented in the matter, including multiple antemortem injuries on the victim’s body and indicators of mental harassment.

Twisha Sharma, a resident of Noida, died after allegedly being subjected to mental torture and dowry harassment by her husband and his family.

She was married to a Bhopal resident, Samarth Singh, in December 2025. Following her death on May 12, her family alleged that she was being harassed for dowry by her in-laws.
