Twisha Sharma case: Big revelation in forensic report of AIIMS, skin tissue found on the belt used in the noose.

New Delhi: The investigation into the death of Twisha Sharma, who was found dead in her in-laws’ house in Bhopal, has now reached an important stage. The medical board of Delhi-based AIIMS has submitted its final forensic report to the CBI after the second post-mortem conducted on the instructions of the court. The scientific findings revealed in the report have helped in answering an important question related to the investigation. It is believed that this report can now play an important role in the further investigation and legal process of the case.

According to media reports, the five-member medical board, following the order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, submitted its 11-page final forensic report in a sealed envelope to the CBI on July 10. Many scientific findings have been recorded in this report on the basis of lab and histopathological examination. The report states that skin tissue was found on the gymnastics belt that was allegedly used to make the noose. The investigation also revealed that these tissues matched the noose marks present on the victim’s neck.

Big doubt regarding gymnastics belt cleared

The biggest controversy in this case was about what material was used to make the noose. After forensic investigation by AIIMS, it became clear that a gymnastics belt with a metal ring was the object from which the noose was allegedly made. It is being told that at the scientific level, similarity was found between the skin tissue found on the belt and the marks found on the neck during post-mortem. This has provided an important basis for the investigating agencies to understand the events.

Complete investigation could not be done in the first post-mortem

The belt allegedly used as a noose was not produced before the medical board during the initial post-mortem. For this reason, this important aspect could not be scientifically investigated at that time. Questions were raised by the family on the initial investigation and post-mortem process. After this, the matter reached Madhya Pradesh High Court, where the court ordered re-postmortem by the expert medical board of AIIMS Delhi to ensure a fair investigation.

The second post-mortem took place on May 24.

The Medical Board of AIIMS Delhi had conducted the second post-mortem on 24 May. During this time, the medical team not only examined the dead body but also inspected the incident site as part of the investigation. After this, detailed scientific analysis of all the evidence, medical records and forensic samples was done. After completion of the investigation, the board submitted its final report in a sealed envelope to the CBI. Due to court instructions, detailed information of the report has not been made public.

Report prepared on scientific basis

Dr Sudhir Gupta, head of the forensic medicine department of AIIMS Delhi, declined to comment on the contents of the report. However, he said that the medical board studied all possible aspects in depth for about a month before reaching any conclusion. He said that during the investigation, scientific literature and medical journals available at national and international level were also studied, so that the report was completely based on scientific facts. According to him, the opinion prepared is clear and factual for the judicial process and the investigating agencies.

The case reached CBI on the demand of the family

Twisha Sharma was found hanging at her in-laws’ house in Bhopal on May 12. The family had raised many questions on the initial investigation and post-mortem. After this he approached the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Seeing the seriousness of the case, the High Court directed to conduct a second post-mortem from AIIMS Delhi and later handed over the investigation to CBI. Now the final forensic report of AIIMS has reached the investigating agency. It is believed that on the basis of this report, CBI can give a new direction to the further investigation and it will be of significant help in clarifying the facts of the case.
