Family members of late Twisha Sharma welcomed the Madhya Pradesh government's decision to recommend a CBI investigation into her death case, while alleging that delays in the probe were influenced by the accused's power and influence.
Twisha Sharma's uncle, Lokesh Sharma, said the state government had taken a step towards justice, though he felt the move should have come earlier.
Twisha's cousin, Ashish Sharma, alleged that delays in the investigation had occurred due to the accused's influence and demanded accountability for those who allegedly aided them.
The Bhopal Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar said that police had approached the High Court seeking cancellation of the anticipatory bail and were working to arrest the main accused.
The development came after the Madhya Pradesh government recommended a CBI investigation into the Twisha Sharma death case and granted consent for the agency to take over the probe.
