Court Permits CBI to Obtain Voice Samples in Twisha Sharma Death InvestigationPreviousNext

In the investigation of Twisha Sharma's suicide, the CBI alleged that her husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh refused to provide voice samples. Samarth's lawyer denied this, stating he only sought clarifications on the transcript, while Giribala's counsel confirmed she had given samples thrice. The court authorized the CBI to obtain voice samples after the duo reportedly declined voluntarily. The judicial remand of both suspects was extended till July 28 as the probe continues, awaiting forensic reports and witness statements.
