A local court in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal on Friday sent Twisha Sharma’s mother-in-law Giribala Singh and husband Samarth Singh to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) remand till June 2. The development comes a day after the central probe agency arrested Giribala following six hours of questioning.
The CBI had sought a five-day remand of Giribala and also an extension of Samarth’s remand during the hearing on Friday. Notably, Giribala’s lawyer did not raise any objection to the probe agency’s request.
“The court has sent Giribala Singh, Samarth Singh to CBI remand till 2 pm, June 2. They will remain in CBI custody till June 2. The CBI may ask the court to increase their reman if needed. We hope that the investigation will now proceed in the right direction,” Anurag Srivastava, lawyer of Twisha’s family, told reporters.
