Police investigations reveal that Twisha Sharma held a demat account worth about Rs 20 lakh, which the accused allegedly tried to seize before her death.
Police sources said Twisha Sharma maintained a demat account with equity holdings valued at roughly Rs 20 lakh. Investigators allege that Samarth Singh and his mother, Giribala Singh, learned of the account and subsequently pressured Sharma to transfer the funds.
The pressure, according to the probe, escalated into a confrontation that culminated in Sharma's death. Authorities are now tracing the money trail to determine whether the alleged coercion was a motive behind the homicide.
The case, being handled by the local crime unit, underscores concerns over financial exploitation and personal safety, especially among young investors with modest portfolios.
Investigators have not disclosed further details about the exact method of coercion or any recovered assets, pending further forensic analysis.
The police have urged anyone with information about the transaction or the suspects' movements to come forward, emphasizing the seriousness of the alleged financial crime linked to the murder.
