On May 22, Samarth Singh, the husband of Twisha Sharma, was taken into custody by Jabalpur Police after he attempted to surrender at the district court. This action followed his withdrawal of an anticipatory bail application in the Madhya Pradesh High Court, which left him with no alternative but to comply with the court's directives. During the court proceedings, Senior Advocate Mrigendra Singh, representing Singh, sought permission for his client to surrender before the trial court. However, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta objected, proposing that Singh should surrender directly to the investigating officer or at the Bhopal district court instead. In a related development, the Madhya Pradesh High Court approved a second post-mortem examination of Twisha Sharma's body, directing a team from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi to conduct the procedure. Mehta argued that the request for a second autopsy was justified, stating, "This is a matter between the court, the victim, and the state," while asserting that the prosecution did not question the competence of the initial autopsy.
