Twisha Sharma case in SC: Suspicious death, dowry allegations, CBI probe - what happened so far

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has now taken suo motu cognisance of the death of Noida-based model-turned-actor Twisha Sharma, a development that has pushed the case beyond a local criminal investigation into a matter of national judicial scrutiny. The case, which began with the 26-year-old’s death under suspicious circumstances at her in-laws’ home in Bhopal on May 12, has since spiralled into allegations of dowry harassment, competing claims of suicide and murder, forensic disputes, protests, arrests, court battles, and demands for a CBI probe.
