The legal battle in the sensational Twisha Sharma death case intensified on Wednesday after senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Twisha’s father, launched a blistering attack on the anticipatory bail granted to former judge Giri Bala Singh, calling it a “rash” order passed without proper reasoning.
Arguing before the court in the plea challenging Giri Bala’s anticipatory bail, Luthra raised serious questions over the conduct of the Bhopal Police, the timing of the FIR and the speed with which bail was granted to the former judge.

“Victim family has been trying to register FIR. It gets registered on May 15. The anticipatory bail is registered on May 14, it was heard on May 15. What investigation happened in that period that the court came to the conclusion that her custody is not required,” Luthra argued.
