Samarth, a lawyer, and Giribala, a former district judge, were arrested by the CBI after it took over the investigation into Twisha’s death. Her family has alleged mental abuse, physical violence and dowry-related harassment by the duo.
Twisha, 33, had married Samarth on December 9, 2025. She was found hanging at their marital home on May 12.
What happened

The case was initially investigated by the local police before the CBI took over the probe. A second autopsy was also conducted after an order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court to address doubts surrounding the first post-mortem conducted at AIIMS Bhopal and allegations of lapses by Twisha’s family.
In their statements, Twisha’s family alleged that she was subjected to mental torture and domestic violence by her in-laws. This person were allegedly dissatisfied with the dowry given at the time of her marriage.
