On 12 May 2026, Twisha Sharma was found dead by hanging under mysterious circumstances. An intimation was sent to her parents in this regard, and the dead body was brought to AIIMS Bhopal. The merg report was registered under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803538\" target=\"_blank\">194<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804326\" target=\"_blank\">Nyaya Sanhita, 2023<\/a> (BNS), and after the merg enquiry, an FIR was registered by the police on 15 May 2026. While the police started an investigation, The respondent filed an anticipatory bail application, which was allowed vide the trial court&#8217;s impugned order. Aggrieved, the prosecution and Twisha&#8217;s father filed the present petitions challenging the said grant of bail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Twisha&#8217;s father contended that after being granted anticipatory bail, the respondent held a press conference on 18 May 2026 and attempted to malign Twisha&#8217;s image by making various allegations. She also did not inform the nearest police station about the incident, and instead of admitting Twisha to the nearest hospital, brought her directly to AIIMS, Bhopal. Additionally, the bail was granted on the same day when the FIR was lodged, and the investigation was at the initial stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">As per the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), allegedly, Twisha&#8217;s husband and mother-in-law doubted her character when she was found to be pregnant and forced her to undergo an abortion, and this fact was supported by the relevant WhatsApp chats dated 30 April 2026, 7 May 2026, 9 May 2026 and 11 May 2026. On 5 May, Twisha allegedly asked her mother to take her away from her matrimonial house, and on 12 May (the day of death), when she called her mother on WhatsApp, her husband was shouting at her, after which the call was disconnected. On the same day, around 10.37 p.m., the respondent allegedly answered the call of Twisha&#8217;s parents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The CBI further contended that during the investigation, the police seized the CCTV footage from the respondent&#8217;s house on 13 May 2026. However, she had the footage of the incident, and she leaked a selective short clip on social media with the intention of tampering with the evidence. Additionally, respondent&#8217;s sister and another Senior Doctor in Bhopal and were allegedly present at the time of the first post-mortem.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the trial court considered that, only because the death occurred within 7 years of marriage, the anticipatory bail application could not be dismissed. Furthermore, the trial court considered that the mother-in-law had transferred the amount into Twisha&#8217;s account and the prescription of Bansal Hospital to hold that the allegations were of a formal nature. The trial court concluded that from WhatsApp chats, it appeared that the victim had complaints with her husband, but not with her mother-in-law. Lastly, considering that the respondent was a 63-year-old woman and a resident of Bhopal, the trial court held that there were no chances of her absconding and granted her anticipatory bail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thereafter, the Court noted that, as per the post-mortem report, the death was due to ante-mortem hanging by ligature, but <span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">6 other ante-mortem injuries were found on the body of the deceased, out of which 4 injuries were on the left arm, one on the ring finger, and one on the head. From the query report, it was clear that<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">these injuries were not caused by taking the body out of the ligature or carrying it out to the hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further noted that it was an admitted fact that Twisha got pregnant and her pregnancy was terminated within 2 months. From the statements of 5 prosecution witnesses, including Twisha&#8217;s family, the Court noted that clearly from the beginning (i.e. 13 May), they stated that her mother-in-law and husband were harassing and pressurising her to abort. Their further statements made on 14 May and 15 May also contained allegations against the 2 accused. From the WhatsApp chats as well, the Court stated that it could not be said that the allegations were only against the husband, but the trial court did not consider all these facts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Further, the Court noted that after getting anticipatory bail, the respondent was not cooperating with the investigation agency, though several notices were issued to her for recording her statement and cooperating with the agency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Regarding the money transactions, the Court noted that they were made on 9 October 2025, 16 December 2025, 14 January 2026, 25 January 2026, 12 February 2026, 26 February 2026 and 1 March 2026, i.e., before and during the marriage as well as when Twisha went out of India. However, it could not be said that the money was transferred into her account near her death. Thus, it could not be said that the respondent transferred much money into Twisha&#8217;s account and it could lead to the presumption that there was no demand for dowry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Accordingly, considering the facts and the allegations levelled against the mother-in-law, the Court allowed the petitions and quashed the anticipatory bail granted to her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/05\/25\/bci-suspends-advocate-samarth-singh-dowry-death-case\/\" target=\"_blank\">Can&#8217;t Let Public Confidence Erode: Inside the BCI Order Suspending Advocate Samarth Singh Over Dowry Death Allegations<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of M.P.<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Giribala Singh<\/span>, MCRC No. 24475 of 2026, decided on 27-5-2026<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">For the petitioner:<\/span> Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta, Advocate General Prashant Singh, Additional Advocate General Harpreet Singh Ruprah, Government Advocate Amit Pandey, Government Advocate for the State L.S.
