- Second post-mortem was conducted on May 24 following a Madhya Pradesh High Court order.

Skin Tissue Found on Ligature Belt Matches Neck Injury Marks; CBI Receives Final AIIMS Delhi Report
Raipur / New Delhi : The investigation into the death of Twisha Sharma has taken a significant turn after the forensic medical board at AIIMS New Delhi submitted its final post-mortem report to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The report is expected to play a crucial role in determining the circumstances surrounding the young woman’s death.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, the AIIMS forensic team has confirmed that skin tissue recovered from the gymnastics belt allegedly used as the ligature matches the injury marks found on Twisha Sharma’s neck. The finding establishes a forensic correlation between the belt and the ligature marks documented during the post-mortem examination.
Twisha Sharma was found hanging at her matrimonial home in Bhopal on May 12, triggering widespread public attention and demands for an independent investigation. Questions raised by the victim’s family regarding the initial medical examination prompted legal intervention, following which the Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered a second post-mortem to ensure an impartial forensic assessment.
The second autopsy was conducted on May 24 by a multidisciplinary medical board at AIIMS Delhi. After carrying out a detailed examination and analysing forensic evidence, the board has now forwarded its comprehensive report to the CBI, which is investigating the case.
What the AIIMS Report Indicates
The forensic report reportedly highlights:
- Skin tissue recovered from the gymnastics belt corresponds with the neck injury pattern observed on the deceased.
- The belt examined by forensic experts is consistent with the object alleged to have been used as the ligature.
- The report provides scientific findings based on forensic examination but does not, by itself, determine whether the death was suicidal or homicidal. That conclusion will depend on the CBI’s overall investigation, including witness statements, forensic evidence, electronic records, and other material collected during the probe.
Investigators are expected to integrate the AIIMS findings with the broader body of evidence before reaching any final conclusion.
High-Profile Investigation Continues
The case has remained under close public scrutiny, with repeated demands from the victim’s family for a transparent investigation. The AIIMS report is viewed as an important scientific component of the case, offering objective forensic evidence that may help investigators reconstruct the events leading to Twisha Sharma’s death.
The CBI is expected to examine the report alongside forensic laboratory findings, crime scene analysis, and statements of all concerned parties before deciding its next course of action.
