Twisha Sharma has taken a dramatic new turn in Bhopal as retired judge and mother-in-law Giribala Singh faces mounting legal scrutiny. Police have now issued a third and final notice asking the former judge to record her statement in the dowry harassment case linked to Twisha’s death. Twisha Sharma, 33, was found dead in Bhopal earlier this month. Her family has accused her husband and in-laws of dowry harassment, mental torture and physical abuse. WhatsApp chats reportedly revealed that Twisha felt “trapped” in an unhappy marriage. The controversy intensified after Giribala Singh made explosive allegations against Twisha, claiming she was a psychiatric patient and struggled with drug addiction. The former judge also alleged that Twisha ignored household responsibilities, comments that sparked widespread outrage online.

A major political showdown has erupted in Tamil Nadu after VCK leader Vanni Arasu took oath in Chief Minister Joseph Vijay’s cabinet, triggering a bitter public feud between the DMK, VCK and TVK. Once-close allies are now openly attacking each other as post-election alliance politics reshape the state. The controversy exploded after DMK MP A Raja posted a sharp metaphor comparing the VCK to a “crooked coconut tree,” accusing the party of turning against the alliance that helped it rise politically. The remark sparked huge backlash online, especially after another controversial post by Raja was later deleted.
