Mother-in-Law Denies Abetment in Twisha Sharma Suicide Case, Cites Heat-of-Moment Remark
Twisha Sharma, who married lawyer Samarth Singh, died by suicide in May at her Bhopal home. Her mother-in-law, former judicial officer Giribala Singh, told the Madhya Pradesh High Court she called Sharma a 'murderer' over her abortion decision in the heat of the moment but denied subjecting her to cruelty or abetting her suicide. Singh's counsel argued her anger was a natural reaction and that both she and her son wanted the child. The Central Bureau of Investigation noted sustained mental torture by Sharma's husband and mother-in-law.
