May 12: Twisha Sharma called her mother at 10:05 pm and detailed on the harassment she was subject to at her husband’s home in Bhopal.
“During the conversation, she abruptly disconnected the call after her husband entered the room,” said Twisha’s brother, Major Harshit Sharma, an officer in the Indian Army. “Repeated attempts were thereafter made by our family to contact her, Samarth, and her mother-in-law Giribala Singh, but no one responded,” he added.
Ten minutes later, at 10:15 pm, Giribala Singh answered the call. Twisha’s family requested her to check on her daughter immediately.
Another five minutes later, at 10:20 pm, the family was informed that Twisha was “not breathing.”
