CBI reconstructs crime scene in Twisha Sharma case with dummy and timeline

The CBI has intensified its investigation into the case of 24-year-old Twisha Sharma and conducted a crime scene reconstruction with mother-in-law Giribala Singh and husband Samarth. The investigative team attempted to create a minute-by-minute timeline of the death to understand the exact sequence of events.

Particularly revealing was the use of an 80-kilogramme dummy in the reconstruction. The authorities used it to verify forensic details and investigate whether Twisha Sharma was attacked before her death. A missing belt played a role in the investigation. The CBI is also examining whether evidence was manipulated or removed after death – a common suspicion in such cases.

Mother-in-law in judicial custody

The mother-in-law Giribala Singh was in CBI custody, whose police custody ended today. The authorities are now considering placing her in judicial custody. The case is being investigated as a so-called "dowry murder" – a form of homicide in India associated with allegations of abuse by the in-laws to extort higher dowry payments.

The detailed crime scene reconstruction suggests that the CBI wants to place its investigation on a solid forensic foundation. The timeline analysis is intended to clarify who was at the crime scene at what time and what actions led to the death. Media coverage has also highlighted the cultural dimension of the case – the phenomenon of mother-in-law conflicts in Indian households.
