The fresh autopsy was ordered in the case after multiple objections raised by her family members regarding the initial post-mortem report conducted on May 13.

“Today, we are going to bid farewell to a daughter, a sister, a friend and an innocent life. The daughter who had begun a new phase of life with dreams has left us all too soon. The vacant eyes of parents, shattered dreams, and every passing moment spent waiting for justice raise a silent question before society,” Twisha’s father, Navnidhi Sharma, told PTI.

Notably, the 33-year-old was found hanging at her matrimonial home in Bhopal’s Katara Hills area on May 12. Since then, her family members have accused her in-laws of dowry harassment as well as abetment to suicide.

However, her in-laws have denied all these claims and alleged that Twisha suffered from drug addiction.

In connection with the case, the police earlier registered an FIR against Twisha’s husband, Samarth Singh, who is a lawyer, as well as her mother-in-law and former district judge Giribala Singh on charges of harassment for dowry.

On Friday, Samarth Singh was arrested by police in Jabalpur after remaining absconding for 10 days. Later on, a Bhopal court sent him to seven-day police remand.
