Husband Withdraws Bail in Dowry Death Case
22 May
Summary
- Absconding husband withdrew anticipatory bail application
- Deceased found hanging at her matrimonial home on May 12
- Police announced a Rs 30,000 cash reward for arrest
Samarth Singh, the husband of Twisha Sharma who allegedly died due to dowry harassment, withdrew his anticipatory bail application from the Madhya Pradesh High Court on Friday. This withdrawal leaves Singh with no alternative but to surrender to the authorities.
The application was filed on Thursday after a lower court had previously denied his bail plea. Twisha Sharma, 33, was discovered hanging in her Bhopal residence on May 12. Her family has accused her in-laws of dowry harassment and abetting suicide.
Authorities have registered a case against Samarth Singh and his mother under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Dowry Prohibition Act. A cash reward of Rs 30,000 has been declared for information leading to Samarth Singh's capture, and authorities are also seeking to revoke his passport.
