'There Is No One To Help Us': Twisha Sharma's Family Moves Court Seeking Second Autopsy Published By, Last Updated: May 19, 2026, 17:43 IST Family of Twisha Sharma seeks fresh post mortem and transfer of probe to Delhi, alleges influential accused manipulated investigation and judicial process in Bhopal death case Twisha's father, Navnidhi Sharma, questioned the denial of permission for a second post-mortem examination despite earlier approval. The family of Twisha Sharma on Tuesday moved a court in Bhopal seeking a fresh post-mortem examination in the case. Twisha’s mother, Rekha Sharma, also demanded that the investigation be transferred to New Delhi, alleging influence, manipulation of the probe and interference in the judicial process by the accused. “I am requesting the post-mortem examination again, and I also want our case to be transferred to Delhi as soon as possible.
We are not able to get anything done here because there is no one to help us. For the past five to six days, we have been running around every day, but no hearing is taking place anywhere," she said. The family has also raised questions over the handling of evidence, claiming that the belt allegedly used for the noose was not sent for forensic examination for nearly 48 hours after the incident. Twisha was found hanging on May 12 at the residence of her mother-in- law, Giribala Singh, in Bhopal. Following her death, the police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on May 15, naming Twisha’s husband, Samarth Singh, and her mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, as the primary accused. The family of Twisha Sharma on Tuesday intensified its demand for a fresh post-mortem examination and transfer of the investigation outside Madhya Pradesh, alleging influence, manipulation of the probe, and interference in the judicial process by the accused in the high-profile death case.
Twisha’s father, Navnidhi Sharma, questioned the denial of permission for a second post-mortem examination despite earlier approval. “An application is required only when it is outside the jurisdiction. When it was within the jurisdiction of the Commissioner, permission had earlier been granted, but later it was denied. This shows influence. Interfering with rights in the judicial process is wrong," Navnidhi said. He further alleged that the accused had manipulated the process in their favour and continued to influence the investigation. “They have already filed a false FIR and manipulated everything in their favour. These are influential people. You saw how they got anticipatory bail. Even during the bail hearing, the police argued that they are influential people — the police themselves acknowledged it. When the police themselves are admitting that they are influential, then why have you left one accused free to influence the case?" he alleged.
