According to the chargesheet, Twisha held equity investments worth approximately Rs 20 lakh in a demat account.

The CBI alleges that after Samarth and his mother, Giribala Singh, learned about the investments, they pressured Twisha to transfer the money.

Joint bank account opened

The CBI claims that a joint bank account in the names of Samarth Singh and Twisha was opened at the State Bank of India's Bagmugaliya branch on April 7, 2026, allegedly with the intention of facilitating the transfer.

Twisha, however, refused to part with the money, the chargesheet states. She reportedly told the accused that the funds belonged to her father.

The CBI has alleged that her refusal became another source of conflict and that Twisha was "continuously subjected to mental cruelty" by Samarth and his mother.

'He wanted to invest in the Chinese share market'

The alleged financial pressure became particularly significant on the evening of May 12, the day Twisha died.

According to the chargesheet, Twisha spoke to her friend Rashi Abrol at around 7:51 pm.

During the conversation, she allegedly said that she had decided to return and told Rashi that Samarth was pressuring her to transfer her investments so that he could invest the money in the "Chinese Share Market".

Twisha died later that night.

Her father, Navnidhi Sharma, has also alleged that Samarth began demanding the Rs 20 lakh shortly after the wedding.

"Twisha had those Rs 20 lakh in the account. A few days after the wedding, Samarth started pressuring her, saying, 'I want this money.' He said they could get double the profit from China. Both the mother and son were pressuring Twisha," he said.

Job loss allegedly used to humiliate her

The CBI chargesheet also records allegations of humiliation linked to Twisha's employment.

According to investigators, Twisha told her parents that Samarth mocked her after she lost her job and allegedly told her, "Tujhe to English bolni bhi nahi aati, isliye teri naukri chali gayi" — claiming that she lost her job because she could not speak English.

The CBI has alleged that such remarks were intended to cause her mental cruelty.

Investigators have further alleged that Twisha told her parents she was under constant surveillance at her matrimonial home by both Samarth and Giribala.

CBI says financial probe is still open

The Rs 20-lakh investment trail could assume greater importance as the CBI has indicated that its investigation into alleged financial demands is not yet complete.

In its first chargesheet, the agency told the court that further investigation would examine aspects related to the alleged dowry demand and dowry death.

The agency has also said that potentially crucial digital evidence is still awaited.

According to the chargesheet, extraction of data from Twisha's primary phone could reveal incriminating material against the accused, establish the possible involvement of other individuals or help investigators identify new witnesses.

The extraction report had not been received when the first chargesheet was filed.

With the demat account, alleged demands for Rs 20 lakh and the proposed investment in the Chinese stock market now forming part of the prosecution's narrative, the financial trail could become a crucial component of the CBI's case as the investigation progresses.
