Update on Twisha Sharma.

The Supreme Court heard the case this morning.

The bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, along with Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi, concluded the hearing with a series of clear directions.

The CBI is expected to take over the investigation within 24 hours.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the bench that the CBI was prepared and administrative steps for the transfer would begin the same day.

The second autopsy has been completed.

A four member AIIMS Delhi medical board flew to Bhopal on a state charter plane and conducted the postmortem. The findings have not yet been made public.

The court said, “Whatever unfortunate incident has taken place, it must be investigated fairly, independently and impartially.”

Solicitor General Mehta said during the hearing, “Without attributing motives to either side, the moral of the story is clear. It is better to have a divorced daughter than a dead one.”

The bench asked all sides to stop litigating this matter on television and in public statements.

“Record statements before the authority concerned, not elsewhere,” the court said.

The court also clarified that none of its observations should be treated as comments on the merits of the allegations.

Twisha Sharma, 33 years old, former Miss Pune and actress, was found dead at her marital home in Katara Hills, Bhopal on May 12.

Her husband Samarth Singh is in seven day police custody until May 29. His mother, retired judge Giribala Singh, has obtained anticipatory bail.

The investigation is now moving to the CBI.

Repost this. Some stories must not be allowed to disappear.

went down south… took the bus… the person next to me happened to be a special needs educator…

saw Su making a fuss and we putting her head phones on and playing her calming music

and he asked about it Su
so we told her she’s autistic etc

then he said he’s a special ed teacher working in a school in Walasmulla

apparently one school in ten has (he claims it’s a must) a special education unit

if this is true, then I’m glad that this is happening

none of the education policy makers has mentioned this
none of the teachers we hire / consult has mentioned this

but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening

none of the passengers in the bus or the driver had any problem with the occasional noise Su made

I’m glad that people are aware and autistic kids have some access to education

Over the past few years I've had many discussions with people who want to build a house in Sri Lanka. Based on my experiences, I wrote a detailed guide to all the things you're going to learn the hard way.
Hope it's useful. Pass it on if it is.

guess when we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Sad to see some that some system change proponents can't accept ground reality. Absolutely no objectivity just plain fan service.

I want this government to do well and live up to thier promises as they are literally our only hope. But for that to happen we need the people who support this government to hold them to a higher standard.

Sadly that's not the case... It's pure sycophancy, just the flip side of what Ranilists did,which was deflect, obfuscate and make excuses. Even good faith criticism is met with labels.. Liberals, bayyo etc etc.. How sad.

As I said before... It's not too late to turn this around but the fans need to calm the fuck down and show some objectivity.

On 30 April at 14:00 BST, join @IosifItkin, CEO & Co-Founder of @exactpro, for a webinar as he introduces the concept of an "AI Testing Center of Excellence in Your Organisation." The session will focus on the importance of building strong AI Testing capabilities to ensure informed design, deployment, and ongoing evolution of AI systems – especially as businesses navigate the balance between innovation, stability, resilience, and regulatory compliance.

Iosif will discuss the steps involved in establishing an AI Testing Center of Excellence and highlight why applying the Zero Outage Industry Standard (ZOIS) – built on People, Processes, Platforms, and Security – is key to successful implementation.

During the webinar, you’ll also gain insights into:
✔ The role of software testing in large-scale, non-deterministic, mission-critical systems
✔ Industry-tested strategies to mitigate quality challenges in complex AI implementations
✔ An AI toolkit for managing system complexity and optimising testing workflows.

Apartheid in Sri Lanka? An unforgivable insult in my own land

“The two of us have lived in Sri Lanka for over six decades. For over 40 of those years, we have served its people with all our hearts—as doctors, surgeons, citizens, and responsible human beings. I have walked through the best and worst this country has to offer, but never—never—have I felt the kind of humiliation I did that morning in Pussellawa.

It was a beautiful Friday—crisp air, clear skies, a promise of joy in the hills. My wife and I were on our way from Kurunegala to Nuwara Eliya for a short, peaceful holiday with family at Jetwing Broomfield. We started early and, as usual, looked forward to a warm cup of tea near Ramboda. Spotting an elegant-looking place called “ Rothschild Tea Centre, Pussellawa” , perched beside a tea estate, we decided to stop.

The Chinese roll I had was good. The cake my wife enjoyed was soft and sweet. The tea was excellent. A sign nearby said that tea estate and factory visits were available—for Rs. 2,000 per person. My wife, delighted, wanted to take a short walk through the estate and see how tea is made. We took a few pictures and walked across a metal bridge to the factory entrance.

There, a small group of tourists was about to enter. A few more were just leaving. We approached, only to be stopped by a staff member—no smile, no grace—just a curt declaration:

“Factory visits are for foreigners only.”

I was stunned.

I asked the person politely what was wrong with us. “Was our money not good enough?” The response: “Company policy. No locals.” Another staff member joined in. Same story.

Let me be clear: We weren’t asking for a favour. We were willing to pay the advertised price. There was no sign saying “foreigners only.” No warning that our own people would be treated as outsiders on our own soil. I told them plainly: “This is the most disgraceful thing that has happened to me in my own country.”

Who gave them the right to decide we were not welcome—just because we are Sri Lankan? Do they know who those tourists are? What they stand for? No. All they saw was skin colour. Ours wasn’t white.

I’ve read reports that some hotels in the South refuse to serve Sri Lankans, citing so-called “uncivilized” behaviour. We were just an elderly couple , who just had tea from their centre for a fancy price. Since people don’t get high on tea and cakes , these are not preventive measures against alcohol-fueled idiosyncrasies. What we are talking about felt like a clear-cut case of apartheid, where Sri Lankans are being reduced to second-class citizens in their own land—ironically, at the hands of those who once relied entirely on local support before the trickle of foreign tourists arrived.

We were denied entry to a Sri Lankan tea factory in Sri Lanka, while a group of foreigners in shorts walked in freely, welcomed with smiles. Nobody cared whether they were football hooligans from Europe.

I told them: “Then change the signboard to read: ‘White-skinned foreigners only.’”

They got nervous. They asked me not to post about it on social media . They begged and pleaded . But why should I stay silent? This isn’t about tea. This is about dignity.

Shame on you, Rothschild Tea Centre.
And if Damro owns you��shame on you too.

If this was the fault of misinformed workers—correct them immediately.
But if this is your policy—you are practicing apartheid in the 21st century.

Tourism is vital. We welcome it. But never at the cost of humiliating our own people. Remember: there were times when the entire tourist industry depended on locals alone. No Sri Lankan—elderly or young, rich or poor—should ever face what we did.

This is a call to every citizen who loves this land: Do not let this happen to you . Stand up. Speak out. Because if we are second-class citizens in our own land, what have we been building for 75 years?”
