During interrogation, Samarth Singh told police that his wife, Twisha Sharma, showed behavioral changes after her pregnancy was confirmed on April 17. Singh claimed that while marital tensions had already existed between them for the past five months, the confirmation of the pregnancy led to escalating fights and arguments. He recalled that they fought over taking a trip to Rajasthan's Ajmer, hours before she was found hanging at their Bhopal residence on May 12. The digital evidence collected by the police from Twisha Sharma's phone revealed that she was unhappy at her in-laws' home. She repeatedly asked her parents to take her away from there. I feel suffocated, mother, read one of the messages she had sent. Sharma's brother, Major Harshit Sharma, an officer with the Indian Army, said that she had called her mother at 10.05 pm on the night of her death. He said that she had abruptly disconnected the call after her husband entered the room. Repeated attempts were thereafter made to contact her by our family, but no one responded, he added. Samarth Singh, who is currently in police custody, was interrogated by the police for two hours on Saturday. He had surrendered in Jabalpur court on Friday night and was produced before the Bhopal court on Saturday. The Bar Council of India has suspended Samarth Singh's license, adding that the allegations against him affect the dignity and public image of the legal profession. Meanwhile, the second autopsy report of Twisha Sharma's body is awaited on Sunday. Following the directions from the Madhya Pradesh High Court, a medical team comprising four senior doctors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, will conduct the re-post-mortem of the body.

Following her death, her family alleged that she had been subjected to mental torture and dowry harassment by her husband and his family members.

twisha-sharma-death-aiims-delhi-team-to-conduct-second-autopsy-today-after-high-court-order
A medical team from All India Institute of Medical Sciences Delhi has arrived in Bhopal to conduct a second post-mortem examination of actor-model Twisha Sharma, who was found hanging at her marital home earlier this month. Twishas body, currently kept at the mortuary of AIIMS Bhopal, will undergo a fresh autopsy on Sunday following directions from the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Acting on the courts order, Chief of Forensic Medicine at AIIMS Delhi, Dr Sudhir Gupta, constituted a four-member medical board comprising senior forensic experts. According to Dr Gupta, the team travelled to Bhopal in a state-chartered aircraft carrying advanced forensic equipment for the examination. Twishas family had requested an independent and multidisciplinary review of the case, alleging that several concerns were not adequately addressed during the first post-mortem conducted in Bhopal. They urged the panel to adopt forensic, pathological and radiological methods while re-examining the body. The medical board is also expected to inspect the residence where Twisha was found dead. The 33-year-old actor-model, a native of Noida, had allegedly faced mental harassment and dowry-related abuse from her in-laws, according to her family. Her in-laws, however, claimed she was struggling with drug addiction. Twishas husband, Samarth Singh, was arrested from Jabalpur on May 22 after allegedly evading police for several days. Samarth the lawyer son of former judge and Bhopal consumer court chairperson Giribala Singh was brought to the Katara Hills police station on Saturday morning. A Bhopal court has remanded him to seven days of police custody, while Giribala Singh has reportedly been served a notice seeking cancellation of her bail over alleged non-cooperation with investigators. The case has triggered widespread outrage across the country, prompting the Madhya Pradesh government to recommend a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

twisha-sharma-death-case-samarth-singhs-lawyer-says-he-wasnt-hiding-and-is-devastated-by-wifes-death
Bhopal Police will be presenting Samarth Singh, the husband and accused in the Twisha Sharma death case, in court on Saturday and seeking a seven-day remand. The police have also served a notice to Giribala Singh, his mother, and the other accused in the case to appear before the court on May 25th. Singh had attempted to surrender at the Jabalpur High Court on Friday after absconding from arrest for 10 days since Twisha was found hanging at his residence. He was subsequently arrested by Jabalpur police, who handed him over to Bhopal police. The police had earlier announced a bounty for his arrest. Meanwhile, Samarth Singhs lawyer, Mrigendra Singh, said that his client was not absconding. He said that according to Section 482 of the BNS, there is a provision that allows anyone who has been accused without reason in a case they have no involvement in to apply for anticipatory bail. He exercised that right, but then I advised him that it would be better to surrender, he said. According to Samarth's counsel, he reportedly had tried to surrender at a local court before but was turned away and later arrested. A Bhopal Police official also confirmed the same to ANI. The lawyer, meanwhile, said that his client would be exonerated by the CBI investigation into the case. The lawyer said that Samarths mental state was broken and that he was devastated by his wifes death. He said that on May 12, Samarth had dropped her off at the beauty parlour and later picked her up. At 7:30 p.m., they reportedly went for a walk. After that, they watched TV and had dinner. At night, Twisha reportedly went upstairs, saying she needed space. The lawyer said that Samarth was hiding to avoid arrest when he was asked why Samarth did not appear before the public after his wifes death made headlines. Samarths lawyer also found nothing wrong in Giribala Singh's recent derogatory and defaming remarks about her now-dead daughter-in-law. He said that the mother-in-law only asked her to remain devoted to her husband. The lawyer said, After marriage, you will be faithful. After marriage, you will be devoted. That's what anyone would expect. The lawyer claimed that Twishas family was responsible for her death and that they did not want her to live as a housewife in Bhopal. Meanwhile, the high court has approved a second post-mortem on Twisha Sharma on Friday. Samarth Singh is a criminal case lawyer by profession. Twisha Sharma met him via a dating app. The couple had a lavish wedding about four and a half months before her death. Sharma died under suspicious circumstances on May 12, 2026. The Madhya Pradesh government has submitted a proposal for a CBI investigation into the case to the central government.
After Samarth Singh's surrender in connection with the Twisha Sharma death case, the model-turned-actor's family raised serious allegations that it was a well-planned conspiracy. The victim's brother-in-law, Saurabh Sharma, alleged that the surrender in Jabalpur was strategically planned. He did something in the process. Earlier, when we were in the high court, he was on bail. He withdrew his bail application and planned his surrender. Before we could go through the case details or the court order could come, he went to the police station and surrendered, Sharma told ANI. He also added that there was a lot of indecency going on there. The family had also raised allegations that Singh was getting VIP treatment inside the district court premises after being taken into custody. Counsel for Twisha Sharma's father Navnidhi Sharma, Anurag Srivastava, alleged that Samarth Singh was sitting inside Courtroom No 32, the courtroom of the District and Sessions Judge, shortly before he appeared before the media. Under what authority was he allowed to sit in that room? Srivastava questioned. Earlier, the family alleged that Samarth Singh and his mother, retired judge Giribala Singh, used their influence to delay action in the case. Singh, who had been on the run for more than a week after an FIR was registered against him and his mother, withdrew his anticipatory bail application filed in the Madhya Pradesh High Court on Friday, and appeared at the Jabalpur district court to surrender. Samrath had arrived at the court wearing a face mask, sunglasses and a cap. The court witnessed high drama for nearly an hour when he arrived to surrender. Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old Noida native, was found hanging at her marital home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on May 12. While her in-laws allege she suffered from drug addiction, her family maintains she was harassed for dowry, leading to her death.

J&Ks population growth continues to slow: SRS Bulletin
Srinagar, May 21:The latest Sample Registration System (SRS) Bulletin released by the Registrar General of India on May 20 has recorded a natural growth rate of 9.2 per 1000 population in J&K for 2024. This is lower than the national average of 11.9. The figures indicate that J&K is steadily moving towards slower population growth, demonstrating declining birth rates and also relatively low mortality rate. The SRS Bulletin has calculated J&Ks birth rate at 14.6 per 1000 population in 2024, significantly lower than Indias average of 18.3. The death rate in J&K has been calculated as 5.5, also lower than the national figure of 6.4. This yields the natural growth rate of 9.2. Growth rate is calculated as the difference between birth and death rates, and remains moderate in J&K compared to many northern states. Compared to larger states and UTs, J&Ks natural growth rate is significantly lower than Bihar (20.8), Uttar Pradesh (17.2), Rajasthan (17.0), and Madhya Pradesh (15.8). However, it is significantly higher than Kerala (3.9), Tamil Nadu (4.8), and Punjab (6.5), states of India that are further ahead in demographic transition graph. There is a stark difference between the growth rate of J&Ks urban and rural areas. While the rural J&K recorded a higher natural growth rate of 10.3, the urban areas stood at 6.7, comparable to the slowest growing states of India. This points towards sharper demographic transition in towns and cities. Among bigger states and UTs, the growth rate of 6.7 of urban J&K is the fifth lowest in India. Only Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Odidha recorded lower urban natural growth rate. J&K is among better-performing states and UTs in infant mortality indicators, as per the bulletin. The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) stood at 14 deaths per 1000 live births in 2024, much lower than the national average of 24. While urban J&K recorded an IMR of 12, the rural areas fared poorer with IMR of 15. Overall the decline in IMR reflects J&Ks improved maternal and child healthcare outcomes. Demographers are of the opinion that the declining birth rate and moderating population growth have long-term social and economic implications. The slower growth reduces pressure on land, urban infrastructure, public services and employment scenario. This is significant for a place like J&K that is already constrained by geography and limited industrial expansion. At the same time, experts also caution that sustained fertility decline eventually alters population age profile. The increasing share of elderly population and shrinking the proportion of young working-age groups over time is an outcome of declined growth rate that needs long-term policy planning. The rural-urban gap in birth rates also exemplifies the changing lifestyles, higher education levels, delayed marriages in J&K. It also shows greater access to healthcare and family planning services in urban areas. While rural J&K continues to record higher fertility and growth levels than urban areas, it matches broader national trends. The SRS Bulletin is one of Indias most important demographic datasets. It forms the basis for estimating fertility, mortality and population trends between censuses. It is based on continuous field surveys and sample-based demographic tracking, in all states and Union Territories.
