Accused mother-in-law and ex judge Giribala Singh tells court Twisha Sharma chats and audio are fabricated, seeks seizure of devices of her relatives.
Former district judge and mother-in-law of Twisha Sharma, Giribala Singh, claimed in the court that the WhatsApp chats and audio clips being widely shared are fabricated and appealed to the court to seize the cellphones of the family members of the deceased so that the “original source” of these chats can be investigated.
Giribala Singh is an accused in the death of Noida woman Twisha Sharma, who died by suicide last week following alleged dowry harassment by her husband and in-laws.
‘Contents Of DVR Not Recorded, Discrepancy In CCTV Footage’
Giribala Singh on Thursday moved an application before a magistrate stating that police have not recorded the contents of the seized DVR and failed to detail the contents of the recorded footage in the seizure memo.
She appealed that it be reopened in front of independent witnesses to record a formal entry.
A Digital Video Recorder (DVR) was among the items that the police officials seized during the investigation of Twisha’s death on May 12.
In the application, Twisha’s mother-in-law claimed that a private firm was maintaining the eight CCTV cameras installed at her residence and that it had not regularly serviced the equipment.
In the plea, Singh said that because the CCTVs were not regularly serviced, there is a discrepancy of two days, two hours, and 20 minutes in the timestamp on the footage, which has created confusion among the public.
‘Fabricated Text Conversation’
Singh also appealed to the court to seize the electronic devices of Twisha’s relatives, which contained her WhatsApp chats, while alleging that the family of the deceased woman was using fabricated text conversations to manipulate the narrative.
On May 12, 33-year-old model turned actor, Twisha Sharma, was found hanging at her marital home in the Katara Hills area of Bhopal.
The family members of the Sharma accused her in-laws of dowry harassment. Meanwhile, the Singhs claimed that she was addicted to drugs.
