The court has ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the case, which involves serious allegations of cruelty and abetment to suicide against her husband, Samarth Singh, and her mother-in-law, a former judge. Twisha was discovered hanging on May 12, leading her family to accuse her in-laws of dowry harassment and to express concerns over the initial investigation's handling, including delays in filing a First Information Report (FIR) and inconsistencies in the post-mortem examination.
