The Madhya Pradesh police has intensified its efforts to track down Samarth Singh, the husband of 33-year-old Twisha Sharma, who was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on May 12. A Lookout Circular has been issued against Singh, and the cash reward for information leading to his arrest has been tripled to ₹30,000.

Twisha's family has approached the High Court to challenge a magistrate court's decision to grant bail to Singh's mother, Giribala Singh, who chairs the Bhopal Consumer Court. The police has also moved a local court for revoking Singh's passport.

The case has sparked a legal battle, with both Twisha's family and Singh moving the High Court. The police has been criticized for its alleged shoddy probe, and the family is seeking a CBI probe into the case.
