Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal court has sent accused Samarth Singh to a seven-day police remand in the Twisha Sharma death case. The remand followed a day after he was arrested.
Speaking to reporters, advocate Ankur Pandey, counsel for Twisha's family, said, "The police got 7 days' custody of accused (Samarth Singh). There were proceedings regarding the passport. His lawyer submitted the accused's passport today. There are three other pending applications which we had filed for preservation, the date for which is the 29th."
Explaining the arrest, Bhopal Commissioner of Police Sanjay Kumar said Samarth Singh had attempted to surrender before a court in Jabalpur, but police took him into custody after the court refused to allow the surrender.
"He had come to the court in Jabalpur to surrender, but the court refused to let him surrender. Meanwhile, my team was also there. Then, my team took him into custody with the help of the Jabalpur police team," he said.
Meanwhile, AIIMS Delhi has constituted a medical board comprising four senior doctors, who will fly to Bhopal this evening by a state chartered plane, to conduct a second autopsy of actor-model Twisha Sharma following the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order in the alleged dowry death case.
Chief of Forensic Medicine at AIIMS Delhi, Dr Sudhir Gupta, said the court order authorised the director of AIIMS Delhi to constitute the medical board.
The hospital received the order and request from Madhya Pradesh government officials to conduct the postmortem on Sunday morning.
Dr Gupta constituted the medical board comprising four senior doctors from AIIMS Delhi with the approval of the director.
