Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued a notice to accused Giribala Singh, a retired judge and mother-in-law in Twisha Sharma death case. The notice was issued in response to a petition filed by the state government and Twisha’s father, Navnidhi Sharma, challenging Giribala Singh’s anticipatory bail granted by the trial court.
"The entire system is pitted against us. Attempt being made to cover up," say the parents of Twisha Sharma, who died at her in-laws’ home in Bhopal.
