On Wednesday, the Madhya Pradesh government presented its case to the High Court regarding the death of actor-model Twisha Sharma, asserting that her ante-mortem injuries could indicate a 'scuffle or struggle' before her demise. The state accused former judge Giribala Singh and her son Samarth Singh of subjecting Twisha to cruelty in connection with a dowry death case. During the court proceedings, the state's counsel highlighted that Twisha's pregnancy had led to family disputes and derogatory remarks against her. The court sought clarification on whether the allegations of cruelty were directed at both Giribala Singh and her son, to which the state confirmed that evidence from chat messages suggested both were involved. Additionally, the government criticized the trial court for granting anticipatory bail to Singh, claiming it relied too heavily on documents from the accused without fully considering the evidence. The state also noted that Giribala Singh had not cooperated with the investigation, failing to respond to notices issued on May 13 and 14, and was not present at her residence when police attempted to contact her. This lack of cooperation was emphasized as she appeared to be crafting a narrative in her defense instead.
