The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the investigation into the death of Twisha Sharma, a 32-year-old actor-model, who was found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, on May 12. Following serious allegations of dowry-related harassment from her family, the CBI re-registered the FIR after obtaining case files from local police. The Supreme Court has intervened, urging both parties and the media to refrain from public statements that could influence the investigation. Chief Justice of India Surya Kant emphasized the need for a fair inquiry, particularly given the involvement of a former district judge and a lawyer in the case.
