Twisha’s report compilation to take some time: AIIMS official on second autopsy
A team of doctors from AIIMS Delhi conducted the second post-mortem of former actor-model Twisha Sharma in Bhopal on Sunday following a Madhya Pradesh High Court order.
Twisha Sharma was a Noida-born professional, model and aspiring actress whose death in Bhopal in May 2026 sparked national attention and a major police investigation. She had reportedly worked in advertisements and regional films before marrying Bhopal-based lawyer Samarth Singh in December 2025. According to police and court records, the couple met through a dating app in 2024 and later settled in Bhopal after their marriage.
Twisha Sharma was found hanging at her marital home in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area on May 12, 2026. Her death quickly turned into a high-profile case after her family alleged dowry harassment, physical abuse and murder. Her relatives claimed Twisha had been under emotional distress and wanted to leave Bhopal and return to Noida shortly before her death. They also accused her husband and in-laws of influencing the investigation because her mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, is a retired judge.
Following the allegations, Madhya Pradesh Police formed a six-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by ACP Rajnish Kashyap. Police booked Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh under provisions related to dowry death and harassment. Investigators are also examining allegations of assault and possible destruction of evidence.
The case gained wider attention after Giribala Singh, in her anticipatory bail plea, alleged that Twisha struggled with substance abuse, mood swings and emotional instability. She further claimed Twisha’s behaviour changed after learning about her pregnancy in April 2026. Twisha’s family has rejected these claims and continues to demand a court-monitored probe, a second post-mortem and strict action against the accused. The investigation is ongoing, with police continuing efforts to trace Samarth Singh.
