A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Madhya Pradesh has remanded former model-actor Twisha Sharma's husband, Samarth Singh, and her mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh, to 14 days of judicial custody.
Magistrate Shobhna Bhagave directed authorities to ensure special security arrangements for Samarth Singh and his mother Giribala Singh, who expressed fears for their safety.
The court ordered that both be kept in Bhopal Central Jail until June 16, but in secure, separate cells.
Giribala Singh urged the court to stop what she described as a 'media trial' and expressed fear for their safety.
She also alleged that Twisha Sharma's lawyer, Anurag Srivastava physically assaulted her son at the Jabalpur district court when he went there to surrender.
Srivastava denied the charge, saying, 'CCTV cameras are installed at the court premises. Facts can be verified, no such incident happened.'
Throughout interrogation, both Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh maintained their innocence, claiming they never harassed Twisha Sharma physically or mentally.
