India, May 22 -- After remaining untraceable for 10 days following the death of his wife, actor-model Twisha Sharma, husband Samarth Singh was arrested on Thursday after appearing before a court in Jabalpur.

The arrest comes amid mounting allegations of dowry harassment and emotional abuse levelled by Twisha's family against Samarth and his mother, retired judge Giribala Singh.

Arrest after dramatic court appearance

Samarth Singh had approached the Jabalpur court hours after withdrawing his anticipatory bail plea from the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

In an apparent attempt to avoid identification, Samarth entered the court premises wearing a mask, cap and sunglasses, with his face almost entirely covered.
