After going missing for over a week after Twisha Sharma's death on May 12, he was apprehended by Bhopal Police from Jabalpur on May 22.According to reports, Twisha Sharma was discovered hanging at her in-laws' Katara Hills home. A thorough inquiry was demanded when her family accused her husband and in-laws of dowry harassment. On May 23, Samarth Singh appeared before a Judicial Magistrate First Class court in Bhopal for the first time. He was then placed under police detention by the court until May 29. On the Madhya Pradesh government's proposal, the CBI took over the case and requested that Samarth be placed under new custody for additional questioning.
