Twisha Sharma death case: second post‑mortem conducted at AIIMS Bhopal under tight security

A second post‑mortem of Twisha Sharma is being performed at AIIMS Bhopal under tight security. The procedure is led by a high‑level forensic team from AIIMS Delhi, headed by Dr. Sudhir Gupta, following an order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court and a Supreme Court suo motu notice.

Twisha, a resident of Noida, was discovered hanging on 12 May in her in‑laws’ residence at Katara Hills, Bhopal, five months after her marriage to lawyer Samarth Singh. Her family alleges that she was subjected to severe dowry‑related harassment by her husband and mother‑in‑law. Samarth Singh recently surrendered and has been sent to police remand for seven days; his mother, Giribala Singh, is also under investigation.

The Supreme Court has categorized the case under alleged institutional bias in unnatural deaths occurring in in‑laws’ homes, with a hearing scheduled for 25 May before a bench chaired by Chief Justice Suryakant. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has pledged full cooperation for a fair probe, and the entire post‑mortem is being video‑recorded.
