Burglary at Retired Judge Giribala Singh's Home Amid Ongoing Twisha Sharma Death InvestigationPreviousNext

In Bhopal, burglars broke into retired judge Giribala Singh's residence, stealing valuables including jewellery and a licensed pistol, though some stolen items were later recovered. The theft occurred amid the ongoing investigation into the death of Twisha Sharma, Giribala's daughter-in-law, with Singh and her son Samarth in judicial custody. The CBI has sought custody extensions, voice samples, and access to digital evidence as the probe continues, while Twisha's family has expressed concerns about potential evidence tampering following the break-in.
