Giribala Singh, a retired judge accused in her daughter-in-law's death case, alleged during a heated hearing that her and her co-accused son Samarth Singh's lives are in danger.
She sought a stop on what she described was media trial, saying that they are being followed everywhere.
Twisha Sharma, a woman in her 30s, was found dead on May 12 at her marital home in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal, a death initially suspected to be a suicide but later led to an investigation with allegations against her husband - Samarth - and mother-in-law Giribala Singh of harassment as well as dowry demands.
Giribala Singh has been in focus for her remarks on her dead daughter-in-law that some, including Twisha's family, described as character assassination.
During the latest hearing, Giribala Singh alleged that Twisha Sharma's lawyer, Anurag Srivastava, had physically assaulted her son at the Jabalpur Court.
The CBI produced Samarth and Giribala Singh before the court following the completion of their five-day custodial remand.
They were remanded to 14-day judicial custody.
