AIIMS Delhi post-mortem finds no assault injuries in Twisha Sharma death
· India · Indian Express, Times of India
Twisha Sharma was found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal on May 12, 2026. A second post-mortem ordered by the Madhya Pradesh High Court and conducted by an AIIMS Delhi medical board concluded that she died from asphyxia caused by ante‑mortem hanging using a gymnastic belt, and found no injuries indicative of assault. The board’s report, completed after an examination on May 24, stated that no medico‑legal injuries were present on her body. The findings contrast with an earlier AIIMS Bhopal autopsy that had reported multiple external injuries and two parallel ligature marks, and the family had alleged that the first report was tampered with.
Why it matters
The ruling narrows the investigation to a suicide, easing suspicion of foul play for the family and shaping the CBI's next steps. It also addresses public concerns about possible manipulation of forensic evidence in a high‑profile case.
