The Supreme Court on Friday (October 16, 2026) issued notice on a petition seeking to transfer the proceedings of the unnatural death case of model-turned-actor Twisha Sharma from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, to a court in New Delhi.

Navnidhi Sharma, Ms. Sharma’s father, filed the petition. A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant sought a response from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the two accused: her husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh.
