Amid an ongoing probe into the death of model Twisha Sharma, thieves on Saturday broke into the Bhopal residence of her mother-in-law Giribala Singh, who is currently jailed in connection with the case. While some valuables like a gold necklace and some silver items were stolen, thieves reportedly also left behind one bag of stolen items while attempting to flee.
As cops probe the theft, Twisha's family has urged the CBI to secure all documents at the site, fearing a potential attempt to tamper with the crime scene, reported news agency PTI.
Twisha Sharma was a Noida resident who married Bhopal-based Samarth Singh in December 2025. She was found dead at her matrimonial home on May 12, and the case grabbed national spotlight after allegations of mental harassment and dowry torture by her husband and in-laws surfaced.
What happened at Giribala Singh's home?
At around 2am on Saturday, thieves allegedly broke into the residence of Twisha's mother-in-law Giribala Singh. Singh's brother, retired Colonel Ranveer Singh Bhadoria, was sleeping in the house at the time of the incident, according to PTI.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Rajneesh Kashyap was quoted as saying by PTI that CCTV cameras showed four accused entering the first floor of the Katara Hills residence from the back door, while two were standing outside the house below.
While the thieves managed to steal some items like a gold necklace, some silver items, betel leaves, and a slingshot, along with some clothes, they panicked upon hearing the sirens of police vehicles patrolling the area and fled, leaving behind a bag with the stolen items, police said.
