Twisha Sharma Case: Skin Tissue Found On Ligature, Say Sources As AIIMS Submits Report On Second Autopsy Published By, Last Updated: July 12, 2026, 11:05 IST AIIMS Delhi has submitted its sealed 11-page second forensic report to the CBI in the Twisha Sharma death case. Her second autopsy was conducted after court orders. The AIIMS Delhi medical board has submitted its 11-page forensic opinion to the CBI in a sealed cover following the court-ordered second postmortem in the Twisha Sharma death case. The AIIMS Delhi medical board that conducted the court-ordered second postmortem in the Twisha Sharma death case has submitted its final forensic opinion to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a sealed cover, marking a significant development in the high-profile investigation. According to sources quoted by news agency ANI, laboratory and histopathological examinations carried out by the AIIMS medical board confirmed the presence of skin tissue on the alleged ligature material, a gymnastics belt fitted with a metal ring. The examinations also reportedly established that the ligature material matched the injury pattern found on Twisha Sharma’s neck. However, the board’s final medical opinion remains confidential as it has been submitted to the CBI in a sealed cover in compliance with court directions.
The 11-page forensic report was handed over to the CBI on Friday. The findings have not been disclosed publicly due to directions issued by the Madhya Pradesh High Court and subsequent orders of the Supreme Court. The second postmortem was ordered to settle a key forensic dispute that remained unresolved after the first autopsy. The central question before the AIIMS medical board was whether the gymnastics belt with a metal ring, allegedly used for hanging, was in fact the ligature material and whether it corresponded with the injuries found on Twisha Sharma’s neck. The initial postmortem could not establish this aspect because the alleged ligature material was not produced before the medical board during the first autopsy. This led the Madhya Pradesh High Court to direct that a fresh postmortem be conducted by an independent medical board from AIIMS Delhi. Acting on the court’s directions, the Director of AIIMS constituted a five-member medical board comprising experts from the Department of Forensic Medicine. The board conducted the second postmortem on May 24 and also visited the alleged crime scene as part of its examination. Following completion of its forensic assessment, the board submitted its detailed 11-page medical opinion to the CBI on July 10 in a sealed cover.
