The Madhya Pradesh government will seek a CBI probe into the death of Noida woman Twisha Sharma, who was allegedly harassed for dowry and died in Bhopal last week, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav assured her family members in Bhopal on Wednesday (May 20, 2026).
Twisha’s family members met Mr. Yadav and sought a fair probe into her death.
Twisha Sharma death: NCW seeks action taken report from Madhya Pradesh government
Twisha, 33, was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area on May 12.
During his meeting with Twisha’s family members, the Chief Minister assured them to provide all the possible assistance from the State government, an official statement said.
The Chief Minister said he would write to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), urging it to take up the probe into the case, the statement added.
Police have registered an FIR against Twisha’s husband, advocate Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh, under provisions related to dowry death and harassment.
A Bhopal court has rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Mr. Samarth Singh, while his mother had earlier secured anticipatory bail.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted to probe allegations of dowry harassment, physical assault and destruction of evidence.
Twisha’s family has earlier alleged lapses in the investigation, claiming the FIR was registered three days after Twisha was found dead.
The police have announced a cash reward of ₹10,000 for information leading to the arrest of Mr. Samarth Singh, who remains absconding.
