Dowry Death or Suicide? Actress Twisha Sharma's Case Deepens

The death of Indian model and actress Twisha Sharma, aged 33, on May 12, 2026, has sparked a national inquiry. Sharma was discovered deceased in her Bhopal marital home, with authorities initially citing suicide. However, her bereaved family alleges severe dowry harassment and torment by her husband, Samarth Singh, and his parents, asserting these pressures caused her death.

During police questioning, Samarth Singh revealed that he and Twisha spent time together hours before her passing, describing their activities as normal. He also claimed Twisha suffered from bipolar disorder and that he gave her sleeping pills on a doctor's recommendation, attributing her mood swings to pregnancy. Investigators are meticulously reviewing CCTV footage, call records, and other evidence to corroborate his statements.

Further details emerged regarding Twisha's alleged anxiety, reportedly linked to her pregnancy. A planned trip to Bangalore on April 24, 2026, was canceled when Twisha insisted on visiting her brother in Ajmer. Tragically, she was found dead on May 12, 2026, just days before a ticketed May 15, 2026, journey to Ajmer, leaving her plans unfulfilled. Her family contends that Samarth and her mother-in-law prevented her from visiting her brother, contributing to her distress.
