Samarth Singh, the husband of Twisha Sharma who allegedly ended her life recently, was brought to Bhopal in the wee hours of Saturday (May 23, 2026), with police set to seek his custodial remand for questioning, officials said.

He was arrested by the Madhya Pradesh police in connection with her death, days after he remained absconding for days in connection with a dowry death and harassment case.

Mr. Singh, the lawyer son of former judge and Bhopal Consumer Court chairperson Giribala Singh, was brought to the Katara Hills police station around 2 a.m., according to police sources.

"He will be produced before the court today, and police will seek his remand for interrogation," Bhopal Commissioner of Police Sanjay Kumar told PTI.

The case saw a spree of developments on Friday (May 23, 2026), with the State government recommending a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, two days after Chief Minister Mohan Yadav met Sharma’s family.

Sharma, 33, was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal on the night of May 12. She had married Mr. Singh on December 25 last year. Her family has levelled various allegations against Mr. Singh and her mother, including those of mental harassment and financial demands.

Singh, who had been on the run for more than a week after an FIR was registered against him and his mother, withdrew his anticipatory bail application filed in the Madhya Pradesh High Court on Friday (May 22, 2026), and appeared at the Jabalpur district court to surrender.

He was arrested outside the court premises.
