The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday arrested Giribala Singh, a retired district judge and the mother-in-law of the late Twisha Sharma, from her residence in Bhopal's Bag Mughaliya extension area. The arrest came a day after the Madhya Pradesh High Court quashed her anticipatory bail.
A sessions court had granted Giribala Singh anticipatory bail on May 15. The Madhya Pradesh High Court's vacation judge, Devnarayan Mishra, quashed this in a 17-page order, stating that considering the "factual aspects of the case and the allegations levelled against the respondent," the bail granted by the additional sessions judge was to be set aside.
