Twisha Sharma death: Messages with friends and mother point to extreme distress - 'I am trapped'

The father and brother of a 33-year-old woman who was found dead at her husband's residence in Bhopal have accused him and his family of allegedly using their “influence and connections” to obstruct justice. The victim, identified as Twisha Sharma, was found dead under mysterious circumstances at the home of her husband, Samarth Singh, in Bhopal on May 12. Samarth, a lawyer, had reportedly met her through a dating app in 2024, and the two got married in December 2025. Twisha Sharma, a former Miss Pune, was originally from Noida in Uttar Pradesh and she was two months pregnant. Speaking to NDTV, Twisha's father, Navnidhi Sharma, and her cousin, Ashish Sharma, stated that they have been struggling for justice and running from pillar to post in Bhopal since receiving the news of her death and arriving in the Madhya Pradesh capital. "The moment we realised that our daughter had died, the moment we got the call that she is no more, the three words that were spoken to us, we immediately started from Delhi, from Ajmer, the family came here. And after coming here, all we are seeing, all we have witnessed is horror," Ashish Sharma said. "When we saw the body of my sister, the injuries that she was carrying, the continuous denial in admitting the crime, the repeated and continuous approach of the police to not get the FIR registered, the continuous struggle that we had, the entire family running from pillar to post, sometimes sitting in one thana, sometimes in the other thana, the women's commission, the mahila thana, the Human Rights Commission, the office of the commissioner of the police, we were made to run from pillar to post," the cousin said. Twisha's cousin accused that the FIR was registered after three days at 2.30 am on May 15, "that too in a very shoddy manner". She also alleged that the grant of bail went almost uncontested.&nbsp;"Thereafter, the proceedings conducted under undue pressure in the chamber of the judiciary, the family heckled outside the chamber.

She had given indications many times that 'papa, if it does not work out here, I want to come back. I don't want to live with them.'

Those were also cancelled," Navnidhi Sharma said.&nbsp;Navnidhi Sharma alleged that his daughter’s death was a case of brutal murder and claimed that the accused family was using its influence to obstruct the investigation. He further alleged that a close relative of the family is Justice Satyendra Singh, questioning who would stand up against such influence.

Navnidhi Sharma alleged that his daughter’s death was a case of brutal murder and claimed that the accused family was using its influence to obstruct the investigation using their power.

The father and brother of a 33-year-old woman who was found dead at her husband's residence in Bhopal have accused him and his family of allegedly using their “influence and connections” to obstruct justice. The victim, identified as Twisha Sharma, was found dead under mysterious circumstances at the home of her husband, Samarth Singh, in Bhopal on May 12. Samarth, a lawyer, had reportedly met her through a dating app in 2024, and the two got married in December 2025. Twisha Sharma, a former Miss Pune, was originally from Noida in Uttar Pradesh and she was two months pregnant. Speaking to NDTV, Twisha's father, Navnidhi Sharma, and her cousin, Ashish Sharma, stated that they have been struggling for justice and running from pillar to post in Bhopal since receiving the news of her death and arriving in the Madhya Pradesh capital. "The moment we realised that our daughter had died, the moment we got the call that she is no more, the three words that were spoken to us, we immediately started from Delhi, from Ajmer, the family came here. And after coming here, all we are seeing, all we have witnessed is horror," Ashish Sharma said. "When we saw the body of my sister, the injuries that she was carrying, the continuous denial in admitting the crime, the repeated and continuous approach of the police to not get the FIR registered, the continuous struggle that we had, the entire family running from pillar to post, sometimes sitting in one thana, sometimes in the other thana, the women's commission, the mahila thana, the Human Rights Commission, the office of the commissioner of the police, we were made to run from pillar to post," the cousin said.
