Giribala Singh’s phone suddenly rang, buzzing with numbers that included judges and court clerks. She answered almost instantly, only to be heard on the other end when families huddled over the screen later. The calls made on May 13 drew a sharp line between mourning and suspicion in the quiet lanes of Bhopal.
Twisha Sharma, a former model from Noida, was found hanging at her Bhopal marital home on May 12. In‑laws claimed the death was a suicide, a view confirmed by the later post‑mortem. Yet her family pulled the rug from under that narrative, saying Twisha had called them in distress that night. The call ended abruptly when her husband lurched into the room. Still, a swath of bruises on her body raised hard questions about the nature of her death.
Meanwhile, the family released a list of phone numbers dialed from Singh’s handset. The mix includes relatives, retirees, and, importantly, people tied to the court system. It appears the retired judge, who once served as an additional district judge, was reaching into circles she once knew intimately. Those who had installed CCTV cameras at the household were also spotlighted, suggesting a need to control what could be seen, or who was seen.
Truth is, insiders say it isn’t unheard of for members of the justice system to hold sway in such matters. But the family calls it suspicious, especially after they see a pattern of calls after the coroner’s report. And yet, no official statement clarifies whether those contacts were opened to discuss the investigation or to sway it. The lack of transparency feeds the rumours a particular amount of fine‑print to spread.
The story hangs on two axes: the widow’s alleged dowry harassment and the judge’s sudden outreach. Dowry claims have long gnawed at small‑town Bhopal, with families pointing fingers at in‑laws for mounting pressures. For Twisha, the accusations were as heavy as her hush‑up modeling career, now condensed into a tragic, televised inquiry. Each number dialed seems to fire a brushstroke across the truth canvas, yet no single button yields a definitive colour.
Legal circles lean on the post‑mortem and forensic report. The police are still reviewing the CCTV footage and the call logs, but the family demands a broader probe. Their move to demand an audit of the phone records comes not from a legal loophole, but from a sense that the narrative might be stitched. They want the phone’s trail laid bare, hoping it will crack open the family’s story at last.
Will the justice system step up, or will these haunting calls just add another layer of mystery?
