The investigation into the death of Twisha Sharma has centered on a potential financial motive involving her personal investment portfolio. According to reports, Sharma held a demat account containing equity investments valued at approximately Rs 20 lakh, which included holdings in Chinese stocks.

Law enforcement officials allege that the accused, Samarth Singh and his mother, Giribala Singh, became aware of the value of these assets. The prosecution claims that the pair subsequently exerted pressure on Sharma to transfer the funds to them. This financial trail has become a primary focus for investigators as they attempt to establish a clear motive for the alleged crime. While the investigation is ongoing, the specific nature of the pressure applied and the timeline of the alleged financial coercion remain key areas of inquiry for the authorities. No further details regarding the defense's position or specific evidence linking the financial assets to the cause of death have been released at this time.
