Twisha Sharma Case: Absconding Husband Samarth Singh Ready to Surrender After 10 Days on the Run

May 22, 2026

In a major development in the Twisha Sharma death case, her husband Samarth Singh—who had been absconding since May 12—has now expressed willingness to surrender before the court. His lawyer informed the Madhya Pradesh High Court that Singh is ready to withdraw his anticipatory bail plea and submit himself to legal proceedings.

The case has drawn significant public and legal attention due to serious allegations of dowry harassment and suspicious circumstances surrounding Twisha Sharma’s death.

Absconding Since May 12

According to investigation updates, Samarth Singh had been on the run for nearly 10 days after Twisha Sharma was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal. Police had been actively searching for him, even announcing rewards for information leading to his arrest.

His disappearance soon after the incident intensified suspicions and triggered strong reactions from the victim’s family, who have repeatedly questioned the circumstances of the death.

Legal Moves in Jabalpur High Court

Singh’s legal team has now moved the Jabalpur High Court, stating that he is willing to surrender and cooperate with the investigation. Alongside this, he has also reportedly filed or pursued bail-related applications, which are being heard in parallel legal proceedings.

The court has been monitoring the case closely, with hearings also touching upon requests for further medical examination of the deceased.

Allegations and Counterclaims

The case involves serious allegations under dowry-related provisions, with the victim’s family accusing the husband and in-laws of harassment and possible foul play. On the other hand, the accused family has reportedly denied the allegations, claiming alternative explanations regarding the circumstances of death.

The investigation has included FIR registrations and multiple legal actions under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and Dowry Prohibition Act.

Case Continues to Draw Attention

With Samarth Singh now expressing readiness to surrender, the legal battle is expected to enter a crucial phase. Authorities are likely to take custody proceedings forward, while courts continue to hear associated petitions and bail matters.

The case remains under active judicial scrutiny, with further updates expected as investigations progress.
