The controversy surrounding the death of 33-year-old Twisha Sharma has intensified after her brother, Major Harshit Sharma, publicly criticised her mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh, accusing her of showing “unfathomable cruelty” through remarks made about Twisha after her death.

Twisha Sharma, a former model and actor from Noida, was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal earlier this month, barely five months after her marriage. The case has since sparked allegations of dowry harassment, emotional abuse, and a growing legal battle between the two families. In recent interviews and public statements, Giribala Singh made several controversial claims regarding Twisha’s mental health, personal life, and alleged substance use. These remarks triggered widespread outrage online and drew sharp criticism from Twisha’s family.

Reacting strongly, Major Harshit Sharma accused the family of attempting to malign his sister’s image when she is no longer alive to defend herself. He reportedly described the conduct as an attempt at “character assassination” and questioned how such allegations could be made publicly during an active investigation.

The matter gained further attention after an audio clip allegedly featuring a heated exchange between Harshit Sharma and Giribala Singh surfaced online. In the clip, Twisha’s brother is heard confronting his mother-in-law over comments allegedly made about Twisha’s past and personal relationships. The investigation continues to widen. Police have reportedly issued multiple notices to Giribala Singh for questioning, while Twisha’s husband, Samarth Singh, remains absconding. Authorities have also announced a reward for information leading to his arrest and issued a lookout notice amid concerns he could leave the country.

According to reports, Twisha’s family has alleged that she faced prolonged mental harassment after marriage. WhatsApp chats and messages reportedly recovered during the investigation suggest that she felt “trapped” and emotionally distressed in the days leading up to her death. The case has also opened a larger public conversation around victim-blaming and the treatment of women involved in high-profile domestic abuse investigations. Legal experts and social commentators have questioned whether deeply personal allegations should be discussed publicly before the investigation reaches a conclusion.

Adding another layer to the controversy, Giribala Singh recently approached a court alleging that certain WhatsApp chats and electronic evidence connected to the case may have been manipulated. She has also questioned the handling of CCTV footage and other digital records by investigators. As the investigation progresses, the Twisha Sharma case continues to attract nationwide attention, with demands growing for a transparent and impartial probe into the circumstances surrounding her death.
