Twisha Sharma Found Dead Just 5 Months After Marriage: What Happened? | ISH News

Twisha Sharma’s death has become one of the most disturbing cases in India in recent weeks. The 31-year-old corporate professional from Noida, who was reportedly also known as former “Miss Pune 2012,” was found dead in her Bhopal home on 12 May 2026—just five months after marrying advocate Samarth Singh. Twisha met Samarth through a dating app in 2024, and the couple married in December 2025. After the wedding, she moved to Bhopal to live with Samarth and his mother, Giribala Singh, a retired judge. What began as a hopeful new chapter, her family says, soon turned into a nightmare. According to Twisha’s relatives, she was subjected to constant emotional harassment and was pressured to transfer investments and shares worth nearly ₹20 lakh to her husband. They say frequent fights broke out at home, Twisha wanted to leave Bhopal, and she repeatedly told them she was deeply unhappy. Her family also claimed she lost nearly 15 kilograms after marriage. Twisha’s brother, Major Harshit Sharma, alleged that she became pregnant and wanted to keep the baby, but was forced to undergo an abortion. The family says she was even accused of carrying an “illegitimate child.” A post-mortem later reportedly confirmed that a medical termination of pregnancy had taken place about a week before her death. In the days leading up to the tragedy, Twisha sent troubling messages to those closest to her. On the night of 12 May, Twisha called her mother around 10:05 pm and spoke about the harassment she was facing. Her brother says the call was abruptly cut off when Samarth entered the room. The family tried calling back repeatedly. At around 10:15 pm, her mother-in-law answered. Just minutes later, the family was told Twisha was “not breathing.” She was later found hanging in the house. CCTV footage that surfaced online reportedly showed Twisha walking toward the terrace alone. Minutes later, Samarth and other family members were seen rushing upstairs and bringing her downstairs, where CPR was attempted. Police were reportedly informed only after hospital authorities alerted them around 11 pm. As public pressure mounted, Bhopal Police formed a six-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by ACP Rajnish Kashyap to investigate allegations of dowry harassment, assault, destruction of evidence, and the exact circumstances of her death. The post-mortem concluded that Twisha died due to “antemortem hanging by ligature,” meaning she was alive at the time of hanging. However, multiple injuries were also reportedly found on her body. The biggest controversy emerged when police admitted that the belt allegedly used in the hanging was never sent to doctors during the autopsy. Without the belt, doctors could not compare it with the ligature marks on Twisha’s neck—an omission that sparked nationwide outrage. ACP Kashyap acknowledged the lapse and said action could be taken against the investigating officer. Twisha’s family also alleged that police delayed registering the FIR, giving the accused time to influence the case. Finally, in the early hours of 15 May, police registered an FIR against Samarth Singh and his mother Giribala Singh under charges of dowry harassment and abetment to suicide. Giribala Singh later received anticipatory bail. Samarth Singh, however, went missing. His anticipatory bail plea was rejected, police announced a ₹10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest, and steps were taken to prevent him from leaving India. He remains absconding. Meanwhile, Giribala Singh publicly claimed that Twisha had mental health issues and substance dependency, allegations firmly denied by Twisha’s family. Feeling that the investigation could be influenced because of the family’s legal background, Twisha’s relatives protested outside the residence of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, demanding a fair investigation and a second post-mortem at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. The SIT inquiry is ongoing, forensic testing continues, and no court has declared anyone guilty. But as #JusticeForTwisha continues to trend, one question remains: What really happened to Twisha Sharma in the final moments of her life?
