The legal proceedings surrounding the alleged dowry death of Twisha have intensified in a Bhopal court. Both the defense team and the victim’s family have filed separate, high-stakes applications before Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Anudita Gupta, focusing heavily on the preservation, validity, and scrutiny of critical electronic evidence.
The high-profile case involves accused individuals Retired District Judge Giribala Singh and her son, advocate Samarth Singh, who are facing intense legal scrutiny following Twisha’s tragic death on May 12, 2026.
Defense Alleges Major Procedural Lapses in Police Seizure
In their application to the court, the legal counsel representing Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh raised serious questions regarding how the initial police investigation conducted. Specifically, the defense pointed to alleged technical and procedural errors during the collection of digital storage devices from the family’s Katara Hills residence.
The defense argues that these procedural missteps compromise the integrity of the video evidence. They maintain that without strict adherence to statutory collection guidelines, the footage could be misrepresented to prejudice the court against the accused.

The family has formally requested the absolute preservation of:
- Call Detail Records (CDRs) of key individuals.
- Cellular Tower Location Data surrounding the medical campus.
- AIIMS Bhopal CCTV Footage recorded between May 12 and May 20, 2026.
The underlying basis for the family’s plea is the profound worry that influential figures might attempt to compromise or sway the direction of the police investigation. By securing this data early, the family hopes to map out exactly who was communicating and visiting the vicinity in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.
Both applications remain under active consideration by JMFC Anudita Gupta as the court determines the legal parameters for examining the digital trail.
