"Let Me Die In Peace": CBI Chargesheet Reconstructs Twisha Sharma Final 90 Minutes

The final 90 minutes of actor and former model Twisha Sharma’s life have emerged in detail in the Central Bureau of Investigation’s chargesheet, which reconstructs her movements and conversations through phone records, messages and CCTV footage on the night of her death. According to the CBI, Twisha was deeply distressed during the evening of May 12 and made several attempts to contact members of her family shortly before her death. The agency has accused her husband, Samarth Singh, and his mother, retired judge Giribala Singh, of subjecting her to mental cruelty and abetting her suicide. The allegations have not been proved in court.

The sequence described in the chargesheet began at around 9:20 pm, when Twisha reportedly spoke to her sister-in-law, Rashi Abrol. Investigators said she was crying during the conversation and spoke about an argument with Samarth. Another call followed at approximately 9:29 pm, but the conversation was reportedly brief. At around 9:36 pm, Twisha allegedly sent a message to her sister-in-law that has since become a central part of the investigation. In the message, she reportedly asked her sister-in-law to tell Samarth to collect the “left over” of his wife and ended with an appeal to be allowed to die in peace.

Just minutes later, CCTV footage allegedly showed Twisha walking towards the terrace of the residence. At approximately 9:41 pm, she called her father. According to the CBI, she was crying and told him that Samarth had allegedly behaved aggressively towards her. She also reportedly asked her parents to come to Bhopal immediately. At around 10:05 pm, Twisha made another call to her mother, Rekha Rani Sharma. Investigators said she again spoke about problems involving her husband. After the call ended, her mother reportedly attempted to contact her several times.

The investigation states that Twisha’s mother subsequently contacted Giribala Singh at around 10:10 pm and asked her to check on Twisha because she was reportedly crying and distressed. According to the chargesheet, Giribala left her room at approximately 10:16 pm and began looking for her daughter-in-law. Giribala allegedly called Twisha’s phone around 10:18 pm but received no response. At approximately 10:21 pm, she reportedly contacted Samarth. CCTV footage cited by the CBI allegedly shows the two moving towards the terrace around two minutes later.

Twisha was subsequently brought downstairs and taken to AIIMS Bhopal. Doctors declared her brought dead at approximately 10:55 pm, according to the investigation. The CBI’s chargesheet also examines events in the months leading up to Twisha’s death. Investigators allege that she experienced continuing marital problems after marrying Samarth in December 2025. The couple had reportedly met through a dating application earlier that year. Financial disagreements have also become part of the investigation. The CBI has alleged that a dispute developed over around ₹20 lakh that Twisha had invested. According to investigators, she was allegedly pressured to move the money into a joint account but refused, maintaining that the money belonged to her father.

The investigation has also focused on Twisha’s pregnancy. According to the chargesheet, she learned that she was pregnant in April 2026 and was uncertain about continuing the pregnancy because of the circumstances surrounding her marriage. The CBI alleges that she later took medication to terminate the pregnancy and that the decision became another source of tension within the family. A medical consultation conducted before her death has also been examined by investigators. According to the chargesheet, Twisha was reportedly emotionally distressed during the consultation. The doctor allegedly advised the couple to communicate more patiently and also recommended that they stop using marijuana.

Another significant detail is that Twisha had reportedly planned to leave Bhopal on the day she died. The CBI said she contacted her mother and requested ₹3,000 to purchase a train ticket to Nasirabad in Rajasthan. Her father reportedly transferred the money, and she booked the ticket. Investigators have said Twisha had told her family that she had attempted to save the marriage but wanted to return home. The circumstances surrounding her plans to leave the marital home are now an important part of the investigation into what happened later that evening.

Questions about the cause and manner of death have also been examined through a second post-mortem. According to the CBI chargesheet, an AIIMS Delhi medical board concluded that Twisha died from asphyxia caused by ante-mortem hanging and classified the death as suicidal. The board reportedly did not find other significant injuries indicating an assault or struggle immediately before her death. The CBI’s case therefore centres on allegations of prolonged mental cruelty and abetment of suicide rather than an allegation that Twisha was physically murdered.

The investigation into the case is nevertheless continuing in several areas. Forensic examination of Twisha’s iPhone is reportedly pending, while CCTV footage recovered from the residence has also been sent for forensic analysis. Investigators are examining electronic records, call details, CCTV footage and voice samples as they attempt to establish the complete sequence of events. The CBI has accused Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh of offences connected with cruelty and abetment of suicide, while also seeking further investigation into allegations relating to dowry and dowry death. However, the accusations contained in the chargesheet remain allegations unless and until they are established before a court. The final 90 minutes of Twisha Sharma’s life remain at the heart of the case. Her calls to her parents, her final messages, the CCTV timeline and her reported plans to leave Bhopal are being examined together with the allegations of marital distress that preceded her death.
