Tvisha Sharma death case: AIIMS Delhi team in Bhopal for second autopsy; Husband was sent on remand for 7 days. bhopal news
Bhopal/New Delhi: Following a Madhya Pradesh High Court order, a four-member forensic team from AIIMS New Delhi reached Bhopal on Saturday evening in a state government charter flight to conduct the fresh autopsy of model-turned-actress Twisha Sharma, hours after her husband Samarth Singh was sent on seven-day police remand in an alleged dowry death case.Tvisha, 33, daughter-in-law of retired Bhopal judge Giribala Singh, was found dead under suspicious circumstances in her marital home in Bhopal on May 12. His family later challenged the autopsy findings and demanded an independent forensic review, alleging inconsistencies in the investigation.Dr Sudhir Gupta, head of forensic medicine at AIIMS New Delhi, said, “The body is currently in the mortuary of AIIMS Bhopal. Our team will conduct the post-mortem in the interest of justice.” He said forensic experts will also examine the crime scene, ligature material and other medico-legal evidence related to the case. “The team will also talk to the parents of the deceased and resolve their grievances,” Gupta said.Earlier on Saturday, the police presented Samarth in Bhopal court and sought seven days’ custody for questioning.Twisha is likely to have been at the center of several wounds recorded on her body.ACP Rajneesh Kashyap, who is heading the SIT, told the court of Judicial Magistrate First Class Anudita Gupta that the accused was allegedly not cooperating and insisted on talking to his lawyer. The court gave police remand till 29 May.Investigators are expected to question him about his actions on the day of his newlywed wife’s death, the circumstances behind alleged disputes in the marriage and allegations related to medical termination of pregnancy (MTP), which police believe may have contributed to the deterioration of the relationship.Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar said that the SIT will investigate where Samarth was while running away after Tvisha’s death and who might have helped him avoid arrest. Police said her mobile phone will be sent for forensic testing to retrieve the allegedly deleted content.Police plan to recreate the crime scene and examine CCTV footage and DVR recordings seized from her home, including footage from the week before Tvisha’s death.It is expected that Twisha’s last phone call and WhatsApp conversations will be an important part of the investigation. Sources said investigators are focusing on what they described as a possible “trigger point” when Twisha allegedly began sending distressing messages to her mother describing suffocation, emotional trauma and harassment.Investigators can compare the timing of her messages with the forensic findings of the autopsy report, which also includes a reference to undergoing MTP a week before death.The numerous wounds recorded on Twisha’s body are likely to remain another central focus. The post-mortem examination reportedly noted several pre-mortem blunt-force wounds which were reported to be simple in nature. Investigators are expected to gain clarity on the age of the wounds and whether they were caused near or before the time of death. news network
