Supreme Court Takes Suo Motu Cognisance in Twisha Sharma Death Case, Hearing Scheduled for May 25

A dramatic new development has emerged in the high-profile death case of model and actor Twisha Sharma, as the Supreme Court of India has reportedly taken suo motu cognisance of the matter and listed it for hearing on May 25. The decision comes amid growing national attention, allegations of procedural irregularities, and demands for an independent investigation into the suspicious death.

The Supreme Court’s intervention has significantly intensified the focus on the case, which has already sparked public debate and widespread media attention across the country.

Supreme Court Forms Special Bench for Hearing

According to reports, a special three-judge bench has been constituted to hear the matter.

The bench is expected to include:

  • Surya Kant
  • Justice Bagchi
  • Justice Vipul M. Pancholi

The case has reportedly been listed under a serious legal title referencing alleged institutional bias and procedural irregularities linked to the unnatural death of a young woman in her matrimonial home.

Legal experts say the Supreme Court’s suo motu intervention indicates that the judiciary considers the matter extremely sensitive and of wider public importance.

AIIMS Delhi Team Arrives in Bhopal for Second Post-Mortem

The latest court action comes at a crucial stage in the investigation, as a special forensic team from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS Delhi) has reportedly reached Bhopal to conduct a second post-mortem examination.

According to reports, the medical board consists of four senior doctors who traveled to Bhopal aboard a state-chartered aircraft following directions issued by the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

The second autopsy is expected to be conducted using advanced forensic equipment and modern investigative procedures. Sources indicate the medical experts may also visit the alleged incident location as part of the forensic assessment.

Twisha Sharma Found Dead in Bhopal Home

The 33-year-old actor and model, originally from Noida, was found dead at her in-laws’ residence in the Katara Hills area of Bhopal on May 12.

Initial reports stated that her body was discovered hanging, triggering immediate suspicion and nationwide attention due to the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Since then, the case has rapidly evolved into one of the most closely watched investigations in recent weeks.

Accused Husband Sent to Seven-Day Police Custody

In another major development, Twisha Sharma’s husband, Samarth Singh, was presented before a district court in Bhopal after being arrested by police.

The court has reportedly sent him to seven days of police custody for interrogation.

According to reports:

  • He was brought to Katara Hills police station early Saturday morning.
  • Police are expected to question him extensively regarding the circumstances surrounding the death.
  • Before his arrest, he reportedly withdrew his anticipatory bail plea.

The investigation is expected to focus on:

  • Timeline reconstruction
  • Communication records
  • Family interactions
  • Allegations raised by both sides

Former Judge Mother Also Under Scrutiny

The case has become even more sensitive because the accused’s mother is reportedly a former judge and chairperson of a consumer forum in Bhopal.

Reports suggest authorities have also served notice regarding alleged non-cooperation with the investigation process.

The involvement of individuals linked to influential legal and administrative backgrounds has intensified public scrutiny around the handling of the investigation.

Dowry Harassment vs Drug Addiction Claims

Conflicting allegations from both families continue to dominate the investigation narrative.

Claims by In-Laws

Twisha Sharma’s in-laws reportedly claim that she was struggling with drug addiction and personal mental health challenges.

Allegations by Twisha’s Family

Meanwhile, Twisha’s family, based in Noida, has accused her husband and in-laws of:

  • Continuous dowry harassment
  • Mental torture
  • Domestic abuse

The family has demanded strict legal action and an independent investigation into the circumstances of her death.

CBI Investigation Recommendation Already Made

Reports indicate that the Government of Madhya Pradesh has already recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the matter.

If approved, the case could move from state police investigation to central agency supervision.

Legal observers say the second post-mortem findings may play a critical role in determining the future direction of the investigation.

National Attention Intensifies Around the Case

The Twisha Sharma case has now become one of the most discussed legal and social issues in the country, triggering debates around:

  • Women’s safety
  • Dowry-related harassment
  • Institutional influence
  • Investigative transparency
  • Forensic accountability

With the Supreme Court now directly involved and AIIMS experts conducting an independent forensic review, expectations are rising that clearer answers may soon emerge regarding the circumstances surrounding the actor’s mysterious death.
