India, May 22 -- Samarth Singh, absconding husband of Twisha Sharma, who was allegedly harassed for dowry and died last week in Bhopal, has been taken into custody by Bhopal Police on Friday. Earlier today, Singh had reached the Jabalpur district court to surrender, his lawyer said. Visuals showed Singh arriving at the court wearing a cap, sunglasses, a gamcha and a face mask.

However, the court directed him to surrender before the appropriate court having jurisdiction in the matter, news agency PTI reported.

The development came around an hour after he withdrew his anticipatory bail application filed in the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
