Twisha Sharma death mystery deepens as crucial evidence ‘not shared’ during autopsy: Report

New Delhi/IBNS: The mystery surrounding the death of model-actor Twisha Sharma has deepened after fresh reports highlighted alleged lapses and inconsistencies in the handling of evidence during the investigation.

According to media reports, the controversy centres around a nylon belt that police reportedly recovered from the scene but did not hand over to the medical board conducting the autopsy.

Key evidence allegedly not shared with medical board

As the belt was not submitted to the medical team, doctors were reportedly unable to scientifically compare the ligature material with the marks found on Twisha’s neck, The Indian Express reported.

As a result, the connection between the two ligature marks observed during the autopsy at AIIMS Bhopal and the alleged material could not be conclusively established.

The autopsy report also mentioned multiple antemortem injuries on other parts of Twisha’s body.

SIT acknowledges lapse

A Special Investigation Team (SIT), headed by Misrod ACP Rajnish Kashyap, is currently probing the case.

The SIT has reportedly acknowledged that the belt was recovered from the scene but was not submitted to the medical board during the postmortem examination.

Kashyap said investigators are examining how the lapse occurred.

All about the Twisha Sharma death case

Twisha Sharma, a former beauty pageant participant and actor from Noida, was found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area on May 12, 2026, just months after her marriage.

The case triggered widespread public attention and a major police investigation.

Police are probing allegations of dowry harassment, mental cruelty and possible abetment to suicide.

Twisha’s family accused her husband, Samarth Singh, and her in-laws of harassment and alleged there were suspicious injuries on her body.

CCTV footage and autopsy findings raise more questions

Recent reports claimed CCTV footage showed Twisha walking alone toward the terrace shortly before she was found unconscious.

Her husband is reportedly absconding after his anticipatory bail plea was rejected.

The autopsy reportedly concluded that the cause of death was hanging but also noted multiple blunt-force injuries, intensifying questions over the circumstances surrounding her death.

The case has become increasingly controversial following conflicting claims made by Twisha’s family and her mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh.

Twisha’s family has also sought a second postmortem examination.
