The Supreme Court while hearing the Twisha Sharma death case on Monday (May 25) said a “fair, independent and impartial" investigation is required in the case. Chief Justice Surya Kant said that a "narrative is being created" since Twisha's mother-in-law and co-accused Giribala Singh is a former judge.
The three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, along with Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Vipul Pancholi, warned the family members of both sides to not go to media and make statements.
"Go to investigating authorities and give statements. We request media not to record statements of witnesses and make it into sound bytes. This is an unfortunate incident," said the CJI.

Observing that a "narrative being set" in the case as Twisha's mother-in-law and co-accused Giribala Singh is a former judge the CJI said “We are against the narrative that is being created.
That is why the CBI should take it over. We believe the state police and judiciary," the CJI observed during the proceedings.
