Samarth Singh, the husband of model-turned-actor Twisha Sharma, was brought to Bhopal in the early hours of Saturday for a medical examination following his arrest in connection with her death. Police plan to seek his custodial remand for further questioning. Twisha Sharma, 33, was found hanging at her marital home in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area on May 12. While her in-laws claim she struggled with drug addiction, her family accuses them of dowry harassment, suggesting it contributed to her death. Singh had been evading arrest for over a week after an FIR was filed against him and his mother, Giribala Singh, who is a former judge. He surrendered at the Jabalpur district court and was arrested outside the court premises. The local police will continue the investigation until the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) formally takes over, as recommended by the state government. Giribala Singh is expected to be questioned soon, following a third notice issued to her for failing to appear earlier.
