Bail Plea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Bhopal court on Monday (May 18) rejected the anticipatory bail plea of lawyer Samarth Singh in the death case of his wife Twisha Sharma, who was recently found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twisha Sharma, who was based in Noida and was also known as a former Miss Pune winner, had married Bhopal-based lawyer Samarth Singh around five months ago. Reports say the couple met through a dating application in 2024 before getting married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After marriage, Twisha shifted to Bhopal to live with her husband and his family. Samarth Singh\u2019s mother, Giribala Singh, is a retired judge and is currently serving as the president of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"allegations-by-twisha-sharma-family\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Allegations_Made_by_Twisha_Sharmas_Family\"><\/span>Allegations Made by Twisha Sharma\u2019s Family<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Twisha\u2019s family has accused her husband and in-laws of physical and mental harassment. They have alleged that she was subjected to domestic violence and dowry-related pressure after marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family has also demanded a second post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered at Katara Hills police station in connection with the case. According to reports, Samarth Singh and his mother have been booked for dowry harassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"court-observations-and-investigation-status\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Court_Observations_and_Investigation_Status\"><\/span>Court Observations and Investigation Status<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional District Sessions Judge Pallavi Dwivedi rejected the anticipatory bail plea filed by Samarth Singh. Police reportedly informed the court that he is currently avoiding arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Giribala Singh had earlier received anticipatory bail from a sessions court on May 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the bail hearing, the defence raised questions regarding Twisha Sharma\u2019s mental health and medical treatment. Samarth Singh\u2019s lawyer argued that investigators should examine the medicines she was allegedly taking and look deeper into her mental health condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defence also questioned financial aspects and whether there were any other personal issues affecting her state of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"controversial-defence-argument\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Controversial_Defence_Argument_During_Hearing\"><\/span>Controversial Defence Argument During Hearing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During arguments, the defence counsel reportedly asked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWas she returning because of love or because she was being tortured?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement became a major talking point during the hearing, as the defence tried to argue that the complete background of the relationship must also be examined during the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police investigation into the matter is currently ongoing, and further legal action will depend on forensic findings, witness statements, digital evidence, and the final medical reports submitted before the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"legal-sections-and-laws-involved\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Sections_and_Laws_Involved_in_the_Case\"><\/span>Legal Sections and Laws Involved in the Case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Law \/ Section<\/th><th>Legal Provision<\/th><th>Meaning in Simple Language<\/th><th>Punishment \/ Effect<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Section 498A IPC \/ Section 85 BNS Equivalent Context<\/td><td>Cruelty by Husband or Relatives<\/td><td>Applies when a wife alleges physical or mental cruelty linked to marriage or dowry.<\/td><td>Arrest, criminal prosecution, imprisonment<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961<\/td><td>Demand or Harassment for a Dowry<\/td><td>Makes giving, taking or demanding a dowry illegal<\/td><td>Jail and fine<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Section 438 CrPC \/ Section 482 BNSS Procedural Context<\/td><td>Anticipatory Bail<\/td><td>Protection from arrest before actual arrest<\/td><td>The court may grant or reject bail.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>FIR Registration<\/td><td>Criminal Complaint Registration<\/td><td>Formal beginning of police investigation<\/td><td>Enables investigation and arrest powers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Post-Mortem Examination<\/td><td>Medical-Legal Procedure<\/td><td>Determines cause of death<\/td><td>Used as evidence in court<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"case-details\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_Details\"><\/span>Case Details<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Particulars<\/th><th>Details<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Court<\/td><td>District &amp;
