Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], May 21 : Navnidhi Sharma, the father of the 33-year-old woman, Twisha Sharma, said on Thursday that they will move to the High Court seeking cancellation of her mother-in-law Giribala Singh's anticipatory bail.
Speaking to ANI, the father claimed that Twisha's mother-in-law was "torturing her".
"We are going to the High Court for the cancellation of the anticipatory bail of her mother-in-law... It is clearly visible what kind of woman she was and how she was torturing her... They didn't think it was appropriate to call an ambulance or the police station; besides, they called all their influential relatives," said Sharma.
He further claimed that the family is pushing for a second post-mortem and expressed satisfaction over the government's decision to initiate a CBI probe into the matter.
"The Chief Minister has assured us that he stands with us in justice. We had demanded an independent CBI investigation, which they have accepted and moved forward with the process... We are adamant on our demand for the second post-mortem," the father added.
Lokesh Sharma, uncle of the deceased, said they had approached the Magistrate Court seeking permission for a second post-mortem but were told it did not come within their jurisdiction.

"We applied to the Magistrate Court for a second postmortem, but they also told us it wasn't within their jurisdiction... The entire system is not working, and it's clear from looking at it that there's a plan to free the accused. It's possible that some false charge sheets could be filed against us tomorrow... His mother was just saying that he has the right to get bail... We have no rights... We demand justice... Our case should be transferred to the CBI immediately, and the government should help us get our case to the High Court... The MP government should truly take it upon itself to bring justice to this case," he said.
He added that the process reflects delay and inefficiency in the system.
Ashish Sharma, brother of the deceased Twisha Sharma, said that the family is continuously seeking justice in the case and questioned the legal process and handling of the investigation.

"This is not a game. There is a father who has seen his daughter, and after that, he is continuously trying to get justice. He did not get justice. He went to the court and was told that he should not be given bail. He is given bail. He is not allowed in the court. He was harassed in the court. He knows all this. After the FIR, he is continuously requesting PM2. He says yes to that. He is told to go to the court, and the court says no. He goes to the High Court for PM2. Is this a complicated system? Is there no humanity here? Do you understand that he should go to the High Court or to the Sessions Court or to the Jabalpur Court or to the Supreme Court if they say no?" he said.
Swati Sharma, the sister of the deceased Twisha Sharma, said the family of the accused made serious allegations and questioned the character of the deceased during their meeting in Bhopal.

She further alleged that questions were raised about the deceased's personal life and character.
"I am ashamed to speak in front of the camera. That madam is asking her daughter-in-law about her past relationship and her character. You are raising your finger at your daughter-in-law, who has not been in your house for 4-5 months. We have taped her audio. Otherwise, she would have spoken badly. I feel helpless. I do not have words to express my sister's mental condition. It is her nature. She is talking about her character," she said.
Twisha, a resident of Noida, married Bhopal resident Samarth Singh in December 2025. After her death on May 12, her family has alleged mental torture and dowry harassment by her in-laws. Police registered a case against her husband and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, who is a retired judge, and formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the matter.
