The Twisha Sharma death case has shocked the country. It shows the hidden horrors that can happen even in a modern marriage.
Twisha Sharma was a 33-year-old MBA graduate and former model from Noida. On May 12, she was found dead at her husband’s home in Bhopal. At first, the police started a normal investigation. However, it quickly turned into a major legal battle.
Heartbreaking WhatsApp messages have now come to light, revealing that Twisha faced severe domestic abuse. Meanwhile, her in-laws are making counter-accusations against her. Now, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) from the Madhya Pradesh Police is deeply investigating the case. Everyone is left wondering: What really happened to Twisha during her five months of marriage?
1. From a Dating App to a Marital Nightmare
Twisha Sharma’s journey to Bhopal began with hope. An accomplished woman who had worked as a model and actress in regional Telugu cinema and various advertisements, Twisha was financially independent and highly educated. In 2024, she met Samarth Singh, a Bhopal-based advocate, through a popular dating application.
The couple dated, and their families eventually formalised the relationship. On December 9, 2025, they were married in a grand ceremony in Delhi. Shortly after, Twisha relocated to Bhopal to start her new life, continuing her corporate job through a work-from-home arrangement.
However, according to her family and recovered digital evidence, the marital bliss lasted barely a few weeks. The transition from the cosmopolitan environment of Noida to her husband’s home in Bhopal quickly turned into an isolating experience.
2. The Digital Trail: "My Life Has Become a Living Hell"The most damning and heartbreaking evidence in the Twisha Sharma death case comes directly from Twisha’s own fingers. WhatsApp conversations between Twisha and her mother, accessed by investigative journalists, reveal a woman experiencing severe emotional distress, isolation, and systematic psychological breakdown.
The Isolation Begins (April 30)
Weeks before her demise, Twisha detailed an environment of absolute coldness. On April 30, after returning to Bhopal from a brief visit home, she messaged her mother describing how her husband completely ignored her from the moment he picked her up from the airport.
“Kyu bheja mujhe yaha. Ye yaha baat hi nahi kar raha hai (Why did you send me here? He isn’t talking to me),” Twisha wrote.
She expressed a profound sense of exhaustion regarding her marital life, stating that her husband was simply repeating old patterns of hostility.
“Bhopal bula kar phir se sab natak (He called me to Bhopal only to stage the same old drama all over again)… Mera jeevan narak ho gaya hai mummy (My life has become a living hell, Mom).”
The Desperate Pleas to Return Home (May 7)
By the first week of May, the text messages grew increasingly desperate. Twisha felt completely unwanted in her own home, noting that her husband treated her as an unwanted burden rather than a partner. On May 7, she openly begged her mother to rescue her.
“Maa aap mujhe yaha se lene aajao kal please (Please come and pick me up from here tomorrow).”
In these texts, Twisha sounded profoundly confused and blamed herself, wondering how she had disappointed her husband. She explicitly requested her mother to come alone to fetch her, hoping to avoid further escalating the domestic tension.
Accusations of Forced Abortion and Paternity Questions (May 9)
The toxicity peaked on Saturday, May 9, just three days before her death. The WhatsApp chats reveal that Twisha was subjected to the ultimate indignity: her husband allegedly accused her of carrying an illegitimate child and pressured her into undergoing an abortion.
Twisha’s texts to her mother reflect absolute disbelief and rage at the humiliation she was enduring:
“Mujhe pooch raha hai vo kiska bacha tha, aur main ignore karu??? Kaisi aurat ho aap. Ye apne ghatiya pane ki har limit cross kar ke baitha hai. Kaise reh lu iske saath (He is asking me whose child it was, and you expect me to just ignore it? What kind of woman are you! He has crossed every limit of filthiness. How am I supposed to live with him?)”
She further detailed a terrifying dynamic where her husband would allegedly act like an ideal, respectful son in front of his mother, but would unleash severe psychological abuse behind closed doors.
3. The Final Hours: A Broken Connection
The timeline of May 12, the night Twisha died, raises critical questions about the window of time between her last communication and the moment she was pronounced dead.
According to her brother, Major Harshit Sharma—an active officer in the Indian Army—Twisha called her mother at 10:05 PM on Tuesday night. She was crying and sharing her severe distress.
| Time | Event |
| 10:05 PM | Twisha calls her mother in distress; calls cuts abruptly as Samarth enters the room. |
| 10:06 PM – 10:14 PM | Twisha’s family desperately makes repeated calls to Twisha, Samarth, and her mother-in-law. No answer. |
| 10:15 PM | Mother-in-law Giribala Singh answers; Noida family begs her to check on Twisha immediately. |
| 10:20 PM | Giribala calls back, stating Twisha is “not breathing.” |
| 11:30 PM | Twisha is officially brought to the hospital, despite the hospital being only 10 minutes away. |
This timeline has become a focal point for Twisha’s family, who allege foul play. They question why it took over an hour (from 10:20 PM to 11:30 PM) for the in-laws to get an unresponsive, pregnant woman to a medical facility that was located a mere ten minutes from the residence.
4. Post-Mortem Findings vs. The In-Laws’ Defence
As the investigation into the Twisha Sharma death case intensifies, a sharp divide has emerged between the medical evidence presented by the state and the legal defence filed by Twisha’s in-laws.
The Autopsy Report
The initial short post-mortem report confirmed that the primary cause of death was “antemortem hanging by ligature.” This medical terminology indicates that Twisha was alive at the time the hanging occurred.
However, what has alarmed investigators and given weight to the family’s murder allegations is the secondary finding: the presence of “multiple antemortem injuries.” These wounds, cuts, and bruises were sustained by Twisha before her death, strongly pointing toward physical violence or a violent struggle inside the house prior to the hanging.
The Dowry and Abetment Case
Based on the physical injuries, the digital trail of messages, and statements from the grieving family, the Madhya Pradesh Police officially registered a case of dowry harassment (Section 498A) and abetment to suicide (Section 306) against her husband, Samarth Singh, and his mother. Following the registration of the FIR, Samarth Singh evaded authorities and went on the run.
5. A Retired Judge’s Counter-Claim: The Substance Abuse Narrative
The case took a highly controversial turn when Twisha’s mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, moved court to secure anticipatory bail. Giribala Singh is not an ordinary citizen; she is a retired judge from the Bhopal District Court. This status has led Twisha’s family to publicly express fears that the local investigation could be compromised or heavily influenced by her deep connections within the regional legal framework.
In her detailed bail application, the retired judge rejected all charges of domestic abuse, dowry demands, or physical violence. Instead, she presented a starkly different narrative, painting Twisha as a deeply troubled, unstable woman struggling with severe addiction.

The Allegations of Substance Abuse
Giribala Singh claimed that shortly after the wedding, the family noticed severe behavioral anomalies in Twisha, including:
Sudden, unprovoked mood swings
Physical trembling of the hands
High irritability
The defence plea alleges that these were classical symptoms of narcotics withdrawal, implying that Twisha was heavily dependent on illegal substances. The application even asserts that when the matter was brought up with Twisha’s father, he allegedly admitted to his daughter’s addiction issues—a claim that Twisha’s family has vehemently denied and labeled as a character assassination attempt to derail the murder probe.
The Flight to Delhi
The bail plea also details a specific incident following April 17, the day Twisha discovered she was pregnant during a medical checkup in Bhopal. According to the mother-in-law, the confirmation of the pregnancy caused Twisha immense distress. She allegedly packed her bags, stated that she was completely unsuited for domestic life as a homemaker, and flew to Delhi the very next day (April 18).
The defence has highlighted mysterious gaps in her travel timeline on that day, questioning her movements between landing at the Delhi airport and reaching her parents’ home in Noida, suggesting an erratic state of mind.
The Battle for Justice: Protests and Demand for a Court-Monitored Probe
Twisha’s family has reacted with immense outrage to the substance abuse narrative put forth by the defense. They argue that the allegations are a calculated, malicious strategy designed to cover up a brutal crime using the legal expertise of a retired judicial officer.
To push for accountability, Twisha’s father, alongside her brother Major Harshit Sharma and dozens of supporters, staged an emotional sit-in protest outside the official residence of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav in Bhopal.
The Sharma family is currently demanding three key interventions from the state government:
A Fresh Post-Mortem: A secondary, independent autopsy conducted by a medical board outside of Bhopal to ensure unbiased findings regarding the pre-death injuries.
A Court-Monitored Investigation: Shifting the oversight of the case away from local police channels directly to the High Court, ensuring that the status of the retired judge cannot influence the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
Immediate Arrest: The swift tracking and apprehension of the absconding husband, Samarth Singh.
Conclusion: A systemic failure of the security system
The tragic Twisha Sharma death case reminds us of an important truth: education, money, and a great career cannot protect a woman from domestic abuse. Twisha had an MBA, a good remote job, and a background in media. Yet, she was trapped alone in a new city and felt completely powerless.
Her final messages show a big problem in society. Even when a woman knows her marriage is toxic and begs for help, things move too slowly. Family hesitation, social pressure to save the marriage, and delays in getting her back home often close the window of rescue before it is too late.
While the police try to find the truth, Twisha’s heartbreaking text messages remain a sad reminder of a young life cut short.
