The Central Bureau of Investigation has urged the Supreme Court to move the Tiwisha Sharma murder trial from Bhopal to Delhi, citing potential witness intimidation and alleged influence by former district judge Giribala Singh.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking to transfer the trial of the Tiwisha Sharma murder case from Bhopal to Delhi.
The agency argues that former district judge Giribala Singh could influence the proceedings and that witnesses may face intimidation, thereby compromising the integrity of the trial.
The request follows years of investigation by the CBI into the case, and the Supreme Court is currently reviewing the petition.
If the transfer is approved, the trial would be conducted in Delhi, where the CBI maintains a dedicated team for high‑profile cases.
