A day after her anticipatory bail was quashed, former judge and accused in the Twisha Sharma dowry death case, Giribala Singh, was arrested by the CBI on Thursday. She was arrested by a team of the CBI from her residence in Bhopal. The action came a day after the Madhya Pradesh High Court cancelled Singh’s anticipatory bail.
The CBI sleuths were seen entering Singh's house in the state capital's Bag Mughaliya extension area.
According to the sources cited by news agency PTI, the agency questioned Giribala Singh following the court order.
On May 15, a sessions court in the Madhya Pradesh's capital ranted an anticipatory bail to former district judge Giribala Singh, who, along with her son Samarth Singh, is facing faces charges related to dowry harassment.
Samarth Singh, a lawyer by profession and Twisha's husband, is currently in the CBI custody, which took over the probe into the case from Madhya Pradesh police earlier this week.
Samarth was arrested after being absconding fore days.
Anticipatory bail to Giribala Singh had triggered a wave of criticism and a batch of petitions in the high court against it. On Wednesday, the high court allowed petitions seeking cancellation of Giribala Singh's anticipatory bail and later quashed it.
The MP government told the court that the body had ante-mortem injuries that were caused likely by 'scuffle or suffering' before death. The state also said that the conversations on chats reveal the victim was harassed for dowry and abused with derogatory remarks.
In its 17-page order, Justice Devnarayan Mishra observed that "in the light of the factual aspects of the case and the allegations levelled against the respondent (Giribala Singh)", the anticipatory bail granted by the additional sessions judge deserved to be quashed.
