India, May 29 -- Former judge Giribala Singh, mother-in-law of alleged dowry-death victim Twisha Sharma, was sent to five-day custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) by a Bhopal district court on Friday. The probe agency also got a five-day extension in the custody of her son and Twisha's husband, Samarth Singh.
