Twisha Sharma death case investigation has entered a crucial phase, with the CBI set to recreate the actor’s final moments at her matrimonial home using an 80-kg dummy to verify statements, forensic findings and the sequence of events described by the accused.The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will recreate the final moments of former model and actor Twisha Sharma using an 80-kg dummy at the Bagmugalia home where she was found hanging on May 12.According to sources, investigators have arranged a dummy weighing approximately 80 kg, roughly matching Twisha’s reported body weight, to recreate the sequence of events described by the accused and other witnesses. The dummy is expected to be weighed at the scene before the exercise begins.The reconstruction will be carried out at the residence where Twisha was found dead less than six months after her marriage. Investigators are expected to use the dummy to examine whether the sequence of events described by those present inside the house on the night of May 12 is consistent with the physical layout of the scene and other evidence collected during the investigation.Crime scene recreation is a standard investigative technique used by forensic agencies to test whether witness accounts and accused persons’ statements are physically possible when matched against the actual scene, dimensions, injuries and available evidence.During such exercises, investigators typically reconstruct movements inside the house, verify timelines, examine sightlines, test whether events could have unfolded in the manner described and compare statements against physical realities at the scene.In the Twisha Sharma case, the reconstruction is expected to focus on some of the most disputed questions in the investigation like where Twisha was allegedly found, how the ligature was removed, how the body was brought down, where various family members were positioned and whether the sequence described by the accused aligns with forensic and medical evidence.#WATCH | Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team arrive with a dummy for crime scene recreation at the residence of the arrested former district judge Giribala SinghCBI had arrested her in connection with the Twisha Sharma dowry harassment and… pic.twitter.com/7qHVLZxknY— ANI MP/CG/Rajasthan (@ANI_MP_CG_RJ) June 1, 2026The agency is expected to compare their explanations with earlier statements, CCTV footage, call records and forensic findings collected during the investigation.Investigators are also likely to examine practical aspects of the accused family’s version, including the alleged rescue attempt, the movement of the body inside the house and the timeline between discovery of the incident and transportation to hospital.Story continues below this adAlso Read | Twisha Sharma’s mother-in-law Giribala Singh arrested by CBI after hours of grillingThe reconstruction comes at a critical stage in the case after the Madhya Pradesh High Court cancelled the anticipatory bail Twisha Sharma’s mother-in-law Giribala Singh, observing that the lower court had failed to consider witness statements, WhatsApp chats, allegations relating to Twisha’s pregnancy and postmortem findings showing multiple ante-mortem injuries.Twisha Sharma, a former Miss Pune and MBA graduate originally from Noida, was found dead at her matrimonial home on May 12. While the first postmortem conducted at AIIMS Bhopal concluded that the cause of death was “asphyxia due to antemortem hanging by ligature”, the case has since been marked by allegations of dowry harassment, evidence tampering, disputed digital evidence and competing claims over the circumstances leading to her death.Both suspects, Giribala and Twisha’s husband Samarth Singh, are in CBI’s custody. The case is being investigated under Sections 80(2), 85 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita relating to dowry death, cruelty by husband or relatives and joint criminal liability, along with Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.Anand Mohan J is an award-winning Senior Correspondent for The Indian Express, currently leading the bureau’s coverage of Madhya Pradesh.
