twisha-sharma-death-supreme-court-takes-suo-motu-cognisance-cji-to-hear-case-on-may-25

The Supreme Court on Saturday took suo motu cognisance of the Twisha Sharma dowry death case amid concerns about lapses in the probe. The matter is registered as alleged institutional bias and procedural discrepancies in the unnatural death of a young girl at her matrimonial home. It is scheduled to be heard on May 25 before a three-judged bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant, according to reports. Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Vipul M Pancholi will also reportedly be part of the bench Twisha, who hails from Noida, was found hanging at her matrimonial home in Katara Hills, Bhopal, on May 12. This comes as AIIMS Delhi constituted a medical board comprising four senior doctors, who flew to Bhopal to conduct a second autopsy of Twisha as per direction of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Earlier, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav had announced that the state government would recommend a CBI probe into the case. Samarth Singh, husband of the Twish, was absconding for 10 days and was arrested on Friday in connection with her death. On Saturday, he was brought to Bhopal, following which a court remanded him to seven-day police custody. Meanwhile, Twisha's mother-in-law and former judge Giribala Singh claimed that she would be happy to record her statement, but Bhopal Police have not reached out to her. This comes a day after Madhya Pradesh High Court issued notice to Giribala on pleas seeking cancellation of her anticipatory bail. Meanwhile, Twishas family memebrs have accused Giribala of using her influence to delay action in the case.
