Bhopal: The high-profile investigation into the suspicious death of actress and retired judge’s daughter-in-law Twisha Sharma advanced significantly on Sunday as a specialized medical team conducted a second autopsy at AIIMS Bhopal. The extensive post-mortem procedure lasted for approximately three hours under the direct supervision of forensic experts flown in from AIIMS Delhi. Following the completion of the procedural re-examination, the Delhi medical delegation departed the capital city, leaving all collected biological samples and visceral evidence securely preserved within the AIIMS Bhopal repository to await chemical analysis.
The forensic team is scheduled to submit its comprehensive findings in a strictly confidential, sealed envelope to the appropriate judicial authorities in the coming days. Immediately following the conclusion of the medical procedures, the mortal remains of the actress were transferred from the hospital facility to the Bhadbhada crematorium for final rites. The emotional weight of the tragedy was visibly evident during the final preparations as the victim’s mother broke down, while her brother, Major Harshit, confirmed that the funeral proceedings were finalized by late Sunday evening.
The administrative and legal mechanisms surrounding the case have accelerated rapidly after the Supreme Court of India took suo motu cognizance of the mysterious death, which occurred on the night of May 12 in the Katara Hills locality. While the in-laws of the deceased have consistently maintained that the incident was a case of suicide, the actress’s maternal family has leveled serious allegations of murder against her husband and his parents. A bench headed by the Chief Justice of India is scheduled to formally hear the matter on Monday to review the initial findings.
Simultaneously, local judicial proceedings have intensified after the victim’s husband, Samarth, was produced before the Bhopal District Court, which granted a seven-day police remand and ordered the immediate impounding of his passport to prevent any travel layout. Legal representatives for the maternal side have additionally moved an application to cancel the bail previously granted to the victim’s mother-in-law, Giribala, with a dedicated hearing slated for Monday morning. Acknowledging the severe gravity and potential interstate implications of the case, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has officially given his formal consent to transition the entire probe over to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
