New Delhi : Samarth Singh, husband of former actor-model Twisha Sharma, who was found dead at her matrimonial home, told police that she had been distressed after her abortion and that her behaviour changed after she discovered she was pregnant in April. The agency registered a fresh first information report (FIR) a day after the Supreme Court (SC) called for a free, fair and independent investigation into the 33-year-old’s death on May 12.
Twisha Sharma was found dead at her matrimonial home with her in-laws claiming she died by suicide, while her parents alleged foul play and accused the husband’s family of physical assault, mental torture, domestic violence and ultimately her murder. However, Samarth and his family have claimed that Twisha Sharma’s behaviour was erratic and that they did not have a role to play in her death.
During interrogation, Samarth told investigators that his relationship with Twisha was “normal” in the initial months after their marriage. He claimed things took an unpleasant turn from April 17 onwards, when Twisha discovered she was pregnant. According to him, Twisha frequently spoke about her previous life in the glamour industry and expressed discomfort with domestic responsibilities.
Investigators also questioned Samarth about an incident in April that he described as a turning point in their relationship. He told police that the couple had planned to travel to Bengaluru together, but Twisha later refused to accompany him, saying she wanted to visit her brother in Rajasthan’s Ajmer instead. Samarth told the investigators that he travelled alone to Bengaluru while Twisha went to Ajmer.
Samarth said he eventually went to sleep while Twisha went downstairs to speak with her family over the phone. Later that night, he claimed his mother woke him up after receiving a call from Twisha’s mother, who was worried because Twisha was not answering her phone. According to Samarth, he and his mother then searched the house and allegedly found Twisha hanging from a noose on the terrace.
