The mystery surrounding the death of 33-year-oldTwisha Sharmadeepened on Wednesday after her father's lawyer during the hearing in Madhya Pradesh High Court alleged that the root cause of tensions within her family was her pregnancy. According to the claim, Twisha was pressured to terminate the pregnancy after her in-laws questioned the paternity of the unborn child.
"Twisha was told to abort the child because her in-laws said the baby she was carrying belonged to someone else," claimed the lawyer representing Twisha’s father, Navnidhi Sharma.
According to the sources, Twisha's doctors suggested her to continue with the pregnancy.

Advocate Ankur Pandey, counsel for her family, informed that accused Samarth Singh had been granted a seven-day remand by the concerned Magistrate's Court, valid until May 29. However, in the interim, since the State had already granted its consent for the CBI to intervene, the agency has registered a new FIR.
Consequently, the CBI will now conduct the subsequent investigation. "From this point forward, the CBI will conduct the investigation, and Samarth's custody has been officially handed over to the CBI. If, after the 29th, the CBI deems it necessary, they may seek further remand from the concerned CBI Court. The entire proceedings will now be under the jurisdiction of the CBI Court and the CBI as the investigating agency," Pandey added.
