Twisha death case: Former judge Girbala Singh’s shocking audio clip where she is comparing her daughter-in-law to prostitutes


New details have surfaced in the death case of Twisha Sharma after the release of a viral audio clip linked to her mother-in-law and co-accused retired district judge Girbala Singh. Singh’s call detail records (CDR), CCTV footage documenting the deceased’s final moments and her WhatsApp conversations have already been revealed, as the case that began with allegations of dowry harassment and abuse has transformed into a legal dispute in relation to digital proof.

Twisha, a model-turned-actor from Noida, was found dead in her matrimonial residence in Bhopal on 12th May.

What’s inside the freshly released audio

Giribala Singh reportedly interrogated Twisha about her earlier relationships, inquiring whether she had been “intimate” with anyone for a “favour, financial gain, or other benefits,” in the clip, which has triggered outrage online. The alleged audio has Twisha’s brother discussing how Giribala and her son Samarth has been abusing and mentally harassing Twisha. The voice reported as Giribala’s, is heard defending her son Samarth calling his wife a R*ndi (vile slang for sex worker), when Twisha protested and tried to talk to her mother in law about it, she reportedly took the besmirchment and harassment further, insinuating that Twisha must have been like a prostitute if she had past relationships.

“Twisha protested that Samarth referred to her as R*ndi, which he refuted. I have worked with sex workers, and some engage in such activities out of necessity. Some individuals sell their brains while others sell their bodies to make a living. This is not a problem. However, some do it to ascend the social ladder,” the audio clip plays.

Singh remarked that her daughter-in-law denied the allegations. Singh further asserted that she informed Twisha that whatever transpired is now in the past, but probed whether she would be willing to “waver on these aspects?” Twisha replied that there was nothing to disclose, yet Singh insisted that she must be honest with her son, who asserted that his wife had multiple past relationships.

Singh aggressively defended her line of questioning as “relevant” because “Twisha had told them about her ties to other men” and “sometimes this becomes a habit.” Twisha reportedly explained that it was restricted to hanging out and dating them, but it was asserted that such activities “were not allowed” in their household. Singh lashed out that her daughter-in-law did not unveil these details before the wedding to her. However, she had informed Samarth.

Furthermore, according to Singh, Twisha’s father stated that she terminated the pregnancy due to her fear that Samarth was involved with drugs, which could potentially harm the child, confessing that her son was indeed held back for 2 years in college for this reason.

Twisha’s friend reveals Giribala Singh forced her to delete her Insta before the wedding

Moreover, Twisha’s friend revealed that Singh was persistently pressuring her to remove her “obscene photographs” from Instagram even before the wedding, which were taken during her modelling career. Giribala reportedly termed Twisha’s posts from her modelling days as ‘obscene’. Twisha had acquiesced to her demand and even deactivated her account to make Giribala happy. However, the mother-in-law remained unsatisfied and outlined that these pictures were accessible on other social media platforms, such as YouTube, as well. Twisha had also acted in a movie that was also available on the internet. She had tried to explain that she did not have the rights for the YouTube videos and the movie, so deleting those would not be possible. However, she was exploring options to address this “because it was important to her mother-in-law and she did not want to upset her”, the friend stated.

“Samarth and his family used to insult her in front of friends and family saying, ‘she does not know anything, what education she has, she knows nothing,” another friend revealed that they mocked Twisha as “Gawar,”(rural, uncouth) in a conversation with NDTV. “About two or three months into her marriage, the disturbances and issues in her life seemed to have escalated. During the wedding festivities (of her brother), it was evident that she was deeply distressed,” he mentioned.

The friend also added, “She spoke very little and seemed constantly anxious, always trailing behind her in-laws, listening intently to their every word, and acting as if she were terrified of doing something that might anger them or cause an incident.”

Twisha kept two cell phones for work and private use, according to a friend, but her in-laws attempted to keep the personal phone out of her family’s reach after her passing. “She kept all recordings of calls and videos safe with her so that she could use them later if needed,” she stated.

National Commission for Women (NCW) initiates action on Singh’s remarks

Vijaya Kishore Rahatkar, the chairperson of the National Commission for Women (NCW), has denounced Singh’s remarks and language regarding Twisha. Singh had questioned Twisha’s past, behaviour and conduct, claiming that she had an abortion “of her own choice,” had schizophrenia and was getting “psychiatric treatment.”

Rahatkar referred to the statements as “painful and heartbreaking” and voiced disappointment at the continued prevalence of these reported dowry harassment occurrences while talking to NDTV. She informed that the body has sought an Action Taken Report (ATR) from the authorities after taking suo motu cognisance of the matter.

According to her, the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police of Madhya Pradesh have already received letters asking them to guarantee an open, unbiased and prompt inquiry. She expressed her support for Twisha’s family and their legal fight.

Giribala Singh petitions magistrate’s court

On 21st May (Thursday), Twisha’s influential mother-in-law Giribala Singh petitioned a magistrate court while lawyer Samarth Singh, her son and Twisha’s spouse, who is presently absconding, approached the Madhya Pradesh High Court after his motion for anticipatory relief was denied by a local Bhopal magistrate court.

The nylon gym rope that Twisha reportedly used to hang herself was not provided by the Bhopal Police during the postmortem examination at AIIMS Bhopal. However, they handed it over later. Afterwards, information about last calls, audio converters and CCTV footage also surfaced, casting suspicion on the handling of important digital evidence.

Singh in her plea to a Bhopal magistrate claimed that the DVR (Digital Video Recorder) system featuring Twisha’s last moments had a “technical defect and displayed a date and time approximately 2 days, 2 hours and 20 minutes behind the actual time.” It further stated that although the investigating officer was informed of the disparity at the time of the seizure, it was never adequately recorded.

The petition argued that while confiscating the video, investigators neglected to do the required panchnama procedures. Singh asserted that the backup should have been played in front of witnesses. She insisted that the people shown in the video had to be officially identified and documented. It added, “No such proceedings were conducted by the police.”

The submission insisted that home features 8 cameras. On 13th May, a technician from the installation company gave the police access to the system, which was attached to a DVR before investigators retrieved it.

Trouble mounts for Giribala Singh, questions raised over the ex-Judge exploiting technicalities, influence to weaken legal case and save her family

On Thursday, Singh received a “third and final notice” from the police, asking that she record her statement concerning the case. Investigators warned that they could petition the court to have her anticipatory bail revoked if she persisted in refusing to cooperate with the investigation. Bhopal Commissioner of Police Sanjay Kumar warned, “The third and last notice has been issued to her (for recording of statement). If she does not cooperate, we will move the sessions court seeking cancellation of her bail.”

Moreover, the Madhya Pradesh government has opened a probe against Singh, which is the first official administrative action the state has taken against her since the FIR (First Information Report) was filed. She is the chairperson of the Bhopal district consumer commission and the government also asked whether an individual under investigation in such a case can hold the position.

“Kindly conduct an inquiry regarding the case registered against Mrs Giribala Singh, Chairperson, District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Bhopal-2, and make the inquiry report available at the earliest,” a formal notice dated 20th May read. It was released by the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Department to the Registrar of the Madhya Pradesh State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.

Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav recently declared that the state government would write to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) requesting a probe. It is also likely that Twisha’s family will contest Singh’s anticipatory bail before the high court, noting that the sessions court overlooked the charges of influence over the inquiry and autopsy procedure.

There are several questions being raised on Giribala Singh already securing an anticipatory bail for herself, the police delaying FIR, the possibility of evidence tampering and an ex-judge exploiting legal technicalities to save herself and her son, while displaying extreme insensitivity for her deceased daughter-in-law.

Twisha’s family makes serious allegations over evidence tempering

On the other hand, Twisha’s family petitioned the high court to immediately preserve CDRs, subscriber information and CCTV video from AIIMS Bhopal between 12th and 20th May. They charged that “influential persons connected to the accused attempted to interfere with both the police investigation and the postmortem process.” According to them, her in-laws effectively presided over the crime scene for almost two days prior to the acquisition of vital evidence.

The plea mentioned, “The entire crime scene was under the possession and control of both accused for nearly two days.” It also accused, “If investigating agency had seized the entire evidence from the crime scene timely then how come doctored CCTV footage were issued by the accused after getting anticipatory bail.”

The family highlighted that over 45 calls were reportedly made by Singh on the day of Twisha’s death. They insisted that all electronic documents related to the accused side, whether directly or indirectly, be swiftly secured and preserved by investigating agencies.

They expressed that efforts to manipulate officials might be exposed by the CDRs. The plea emphasisied that Singh made “several calls to influential persons due to which the entire investigation was influenced and AIIMS had also issued reports with several lapses.”

Meanwhile, a top cop stressed that the authorities are primarily concentrating on capturing Samarth after which the allegations regarding dubious management of evidence would be looked into. “It’s not a substantial issue, as the ligature material and DVR have been seized under proper guidelines despite the delay,” the officer stated.

Lookout Circular, cash reward for Samarth’s arrest

A Lookout Circular (LoC) has been issued against Samarth to prevent him from departing the country and the cash prize has been raised to ₹30,000 for details leading to his arrest. In his application before the high court, he maintained that although the sessions court had granted relief to his mother in the same case, it had wrongfully refused him anticipatory bail. Samarth complained that he and his mother purportedly sent over Rs 7 lakh to Twisha’s account, thereby rendering the allegations of dowry demand suspicious.

“The WhatsApp chats presented by the complainant are edited and incomplete. The same being tampered cannot be relied upon,” he contended and likewise alleged, “More than Rs 7 lakh has been transferred online to the account of Mrs Twisha by the applicant and his mother in a complaint of dowry harassment for a demand of Rs 2 lakh.”

Samarth asserted that the investigation had not yet turned up any evidence that directly linked him to Twisha’s demise and complained, “The entire prosecution story being constructed and built is based on imagination and presumptions.”

Why Giribala Singh’s conduct is disturbing and scary

Singh represents a stark contrast to the quintessential image of a mother-in-law. She is educated, held an important position and embodies modernity, yet the disparities cease there. While she pretends to be sophisticated or immaculate, the underlying decay remains, marked by an uncanny hunger to dominate every facet of her daughter-in-law’s existence resulting in her harassment, abuse and death. The NCW head is correct in questioning how such incidents persist into 2026.

Many social media users expressed shock over Singh’s overt concerns expressed for the houseplants on the terrace, with the complete lack of any sympathy for the deceased Twisha. It is notable here that Twisha had died on that terrace. Giribala Singh was seen lamenting that the police have locked the terrace (crime scene) and her house plants might die.

However, the truth is that while times have progressed, the fundamental rot in society continues to manifest itself in the harassment, humiliation and oppression of women whether for dowry or other reasons, and at times, no excuse is needed to perpetrate such acts. The daughter-in-law is always depicted as culpable, while the son is forever deemed innocent even after when she is forced to take her own life.

In fact, the character assassination will potentially escalate since she will not be alive to refute the allegations, as demonstrated by the current matter. Young people date, both boys and girls. But somehow, even among educated families, the boy’s past relationships are ignored while the girl’s past relationships are treated as some sort of crime. The cold, calculated insensitivity that the mother-in-law is displaying towards a deceased young woman, and confidently comparing her to prostitutes just because she had past relationships, has triggered an online discussion, especially among women, on how primitive society still is.

Singh’s statements and actions are not just scary but serve as a reminder that even educated and empowered societies are suffering from his affliction, which seems to lack a remedy at this time and might require drastic solutions for effective treatment.
