Inside the final hours of actor-model Twisha Sharma: ‘Ask him to collect the leftovers of his wife’
Inside the Final Hours of Actor Twisha Sharma
Indiadailyupdate.com – Inside the final hours of actor-model Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old performer from Bhopal, lies a trail of phone calls, text exchanges, and CCTV timestamps that the CBI has now laid bare in a 1,000-page chargesheet. Filed on Monday, five months after Twisha was discovered dead at her marital home on May 12, 2026, the document charges her mother-in-law Giribala Singh and husband Samarth with abetment to suicide while keeping the investigation into alleged dowry demands and a possible dowry death wide open.
The Chargesheet and the Final Text
The agency's filing reconstructs the mental harassment Twisha endured and pinpoints the exact sequence of digital interactions in the hour before her death. The trail opens at 7:51 pm, when Twisha phoned her sister-in-law Rashi Abrol to complain that Samarth was pressuring her to move a Rs 20 lakh investment into the Chinese stock market — a request she had declined. Over the following sixty minutes, more than 34 messages passed between the two families as Twisha's mother attempted repeatedly to reach Samarth and Giribala for intervention.
By 9:20 pm the tone had shifted sharply. Twisha called Abrol again, sobbing, and explained that she had asked Samarth to sleep in a separate room because of back pain. Samarth reacted with a violent outburst, and the call cut off. When Abrol dialed back at 9:29 pm, Twisha was weeping before the line dropped. Six minutes later, at 9:36 pm, she sent the message that would anchor the entire investigation:
"Ask him to collect the leftovers of his wife. But tomorrow. Let me die in peace right now."
What the CCTV Captured Between 9:40 PM and 10:23 PM
At 9:40 pm, surveillance footage from the residence shows Twisha walking alone toward the terrace. A minute later her father received a WhatsApp call. He found her in tears, describing Samarth as "very aggressive and violent," and urged the family to rush to Bhopal. At 10:05 pm she phoned her mother, Rekha Rani Sharma, repeating the same complaint about Samarth's behaviour.
Rekha Rani then placed multiple calls to Twisha that went unanswered. She next contacted Samarth and Giribala; neither responded. Giribala, a retired judge, did not pick up until 10:10 pm. After Rekha relayed that Twisha was crying profusely, Giribala left her room at 10:16 pm to check on her daughter-in-law, according to the CCTV record. The ground floor was empty. At 10:18 pm she dialled Twisha's phone — no answer. Five minutes later, Samarth and his mother appeared on camera heading toward the terrace, where Twisha was found suspended from a gymnastic belt.
The postmortem and subsequent medical board at AIIMS Delhi concluded the death was suicide by hanging. The charge sheet quotes the board's finding: the cause was asphyxia from ante-mortem hanging, suicidal in manner, produced by the ligature material — a gymnastic belt fitted with a ring — and no other medico-legally significant injuries suggestive of assault or scuffle were present on the body.
The CBI has stated it is still awaiting complete forensic extraction of data from Twisha's and Samarth's phones, along with the DVR recordings from the CCTV system at Giribala Singh's Bhopal residence, which would have captured the events of May 12 in full.
