CBI Takes Over Twisha Sharma Dowry Death Investigation as Husband Remains Missing
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has officially taken over the probe into the controversial death of Twisha Sharma, a case that has sparked nationwide outrage and renewed debate around dowry harassment and women’s safety in India.
Authorities confirmed that Twisha’s husband, who has been accused by the victim’s family of dowry-related harassment, is still absconding even as the investigation intensifies.
CBI Formally Registers Case
The CBI stepped in after growing public pressure and demands from Twisha Sharma’s family for an independent investigation.
Officials said the agency has:
- Registered an FIR
- Begun collecting evidence from local police
- Started reviewing forensic material and digital records

The move comes after allegations that the earlier investigation lacked urgency and transparency.
Family Alleges Dowry Harassment
Twisha Sharma’s family has accused her husband and in-laws of:
- Mental harassment
- Repeated dowry demands

According to relatives, Twisha had allegedly informed family members about ongoing domestic distress before her death.
The case triggered widespread anger online after details surrounding the young woman’s death began circulating on social media.
