A four-doctor medical board from AIIMS Delhi is conducting a second post-mortem of actor-model Twisha Sharma in Bhopal [1], [2].
The second autopsy follows an order from the Madhya Pradesh High Court to clarify the specific circumstances surrounding Sharma's death [1]. This legal intervention suggests that previous findings may have been insufficient or contested by the family.
The medical board consists of four senior doctors [1]. The team traveled from Delhi to Bhopal to ensure the procedure meets the standards required by the court. This step is intended to provide a definitive cause of death and resolve discrepancies in the initial investigation [1], [2].
Ashish Sharma, the cousin of Twisha Sharma, has called for the process to move forward quickly. "The administration should now complete all necessary formalities without any further delay," Sharma said.
The case has drawn significant attention due to the profile of the deceased and the judicial necessity of a second examination. The AIIMS Delhi team is tasked with providing a detailed report that will likely serve as a primary piece of evidence in further legal proceedings in Madhya Pradesh [1], [2].

The deployment of a specialized medical board from a premier national institution like AIIMS Delhi indicates a high level of judicial scrutiny. By ordering a second autopsy, the Madhya Pradesh High Court is seeking to eliminate procedural errors or biases from the first examination, ensuring that the forensic evidence is robust enough to withstand legal challenges in a potential criminal or civil trial.
