The Jabalpur High Court has revoked the anticipatory bail granted to Giribala Singh, the mother-in-law of Twisha Sharma, in a case involving serious allegations of dowry harassment and mental torture. The court's decision came after hearing arguments from all parties, including the victim's family and the State. Ankur Pandey, the lawyer representing Twisha's family, pointed out irregularities in the previous bail decision, noting that the Sessions Court had prematurely concluded there was no evidence before the investigation was complete. Following her bail, Singh allegedly attempted to malign Twisha's character and failed to cooperate with investigators. The case stems from Twisha's death on May 12, 2025, after reportedly facing harassment for dowry from her in-laws. Singh has been charged under several sections of the law, including the Dowry Prohibition Act, and the court emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the matter.
