NEW DELHI — Significant discrepancies between separate medical forensic evaluations have emerged in the high-profile Twisha Sharma death case, placing central investigative conclusions under sharp public and legal scrutiny.
Twisha Sharma was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal under mysterious circumstances.
Divergent Medical Findings
The initial post-mortem examination performed in Bhopal noted distinct physical trauma and injury marks on the body, prompting allegations of ante-mortem physical violence or struggle prior to death.
However, a court-ordered second post-mortem evaluation conducted by a five-member medical board at AIIMS Delhi arrived at contrasting conclusions. The AIIMS Delhi board ruled out external physical assault or resistance, concluding that the death occurred due to suicidal hanging.
While AIIMS Delhi investigators confirmed matching skin tissue on a gymnastics belt allegedly used as a noose, the variance in how bodily injury patterns were classified in Bhopal versus Delhi has created intense friction.
| Medical Board / Authority | Primary Forensic Conclusion | Assessment of Body Injuries |
| AIIMS Bhopal (Initial Autopsy) | Suspicious demise / Trauma noted | Observed specific injury marks and potential physical struggle. |
| AIIMS Delhi (Secondary Board) | Death by suicidal hanging | Found no marks suggestive of pre-death assault or physical struggle. |
Questions Surrounding CBI Findings
The sharp divide between the two premier medical institutions has raised significant concerns regarding the Central Bureau of Investigation's reliance on selective medical opinions. Legal representatives and observers have questioned why earlier physical evidence recorded immediately after the incident appeared to contrast with later forensic summaries.
As the CBI prepares its detailed submission before the court, legal experts point out that resolving these conflicting medical interpretations will be crucial in establishing an undisputed sequence of events. Further judicial directions may be required to reconcile the two reports before the investigation draws to a final close.
