The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognisance of the Twisha Sharma death case, which has triggered nationwide outrage over allegations of dowry harassment and abetment to suicide. A bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant is expected to hear the matter on Monday. Twisha Sharma, a Noida-based model-turned-actor, was found dead on May 12 at her in-laws’ residence in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area, months after marrying advocate Samarth Singh.Twisha’s family has accused her husband and in-laws, including retired district judge Giribala Singh, of dowry harassment and mental torture. An FIR was registered on May 15, following which Bhopal Police formed a six-member SIT to investigate the case. The matter gained national attention after Twisha’s family staged protests and demanded an independent probe, alleging attempts at a “posthumous character trial” of the deceased.Samarth Singh’s bail plea was rejected by a Bhopal court, and police later announced rewards for information leading to his arrest. On May 22, he was taken into custody by Jabalpur Police from a district court premises where he had reportedly arrived to surrender. The Supreme Court’s intervention is being seen as a major development in the case, with Monday’s hearing expected to focus on the investigation and allegations raised by the victim’s family.
