Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh High Court, on Friday, granted permission for the second autopsy of Twisha Sharma’s body at AIIMS Delhi.
According to information, the High Court directed that the fresh post-mortem examination should be conducted by a team of doctors from All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi.
The Court also instructed authorities to preserve Twisha Sharma’s body until the fresh post-mortem is conducted.
During the hearing, the lawyer of the deceased's husband Samarth Sharma, Mrigendra Singh, reportedly argued that ordering a second post-mortem could reduce public trust in doctors of the state.
On the other hand, Advocate General Prashant Singh, appearing on behalf of the state government, told the court that the government has no objection to a second autopsy.
The case has attracted significant public attention, with Twisha Sharma’s family continuously demanding a fair investigation and a fresh medical examination into the circumstances surrounding her death.
Notably, the family had raised doubts over the first post-mortem report and demanded a fresh examination for a fair investigation.
The case has been under discussion for the past several days, with the family continuously demanding justice and a detailed probe into the circumstances surrounding her death.
MP government allows CBI probe
Additionally, the Madhya Pradesh Home Department on Friday also issued a notification allowing a CBI investigation into the death case of Twisha Sharma.
Earlier on Thursday, the police headquarters had prepared a proposal and sent it to the Home Department, after which the state government gave approval for the CBI probe.
In the notification, the Home Department accepted the demand made by Twisha Sharma’s family and stated that the CBI will conduct a detailed investigation into the case.
A day earlier, Twisha Sharma’s family met Mohan Yadav and requested a CBI inquiry into their daughter’s death.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister assured the family of full support from the state government and said every possible effort would be made to ensure justice in the case.
