PATNA — Giribala Singh, the mother-in-law of Twisha Sharma, has moved a court with allegations that digital evidence including video recordings and text message exchanges related to the ongoing case have been fabricated. Singh has filed a formal petition requesting judicial intervention in what she claims is a deliberate manipulation of electronic evidence.
According to reports, Singh's legal petition includes a specific prayer seeking the confiscation of mobile devices in possession of Twisha Sharma's family members. The application urges the court to order these electronic devices be handed over to forensic experts for detailed technical examination to determine the authenticity of the disputed digital materials.
The development marks a significant escalation in the legal dispute between the families, with allegations now centring on the integrity of digital evidence that may be crucial to the proceedings. Courts across India have increasingly dealt with questions surrounding digital evidence authenticity, particularly as smartphones and messaging applications have become central to both civil and criminal litigation. Forensic examination of mobile devices typically involves recovering deleted data, verifying timestamps, and checking for signs of tampering or editing.
The matter is expected to come up for hearing in the coming days, where the court will consider the merits of the application for device seizure and forensic investigation.
