A second post-mortem report from AIIMS Delhi found skin tissue on a gym belt that matches neck injuries sustained by Twisha Sharma.

This forensic discovery provides critical physical evidence for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as it determines the exact cause of Sharma's death. The findings link a specific object, the gym belt, to the injuries on the victim's neck, potentially shifting the trajectory of the criminal probe.

The 11-page report [2] was submitted to the CBI in a sealed cover. This second autopsy was conducted following an order from the Madhya Pradesh High Court [1]. A medical board consisting of five members [1] performed the analysis at AIIMS Delhi to ensure a rigorous review of the forensic evidence.

Investigators are focusing on whether the gym belt served as the ligature used during the incident. The presence of skin tissue on the belt serves as a biological link between the weapon and the victim's injuries [2].

The new evidence may lead to further legal actions against those involved in the case. Reports indicate that retired judge Giribala Singh and her husband, Samarth Singh, may face a fresh remand by the CBI following the receipt of this medical report [1]. The investigation continues to be overseen in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh [1].

The CBI is now reviewing the comprehensive findings to determine if the evidence supports charges of homicide or other criminal activity. The detailed nature of the 11-page document [2] is expected to form a cornerstone of the prosecution's evidence if the case proceeds to trial.

“AIIMS Delhi’s second post-mortem confirmed that skin tissue from Twisha Sharma’s neck was present on the gym-belt ligature.”

The confirmation of biological material on the gym belt transforms the investigation from a reliance on circumstantial evidence to a case supported by forensic biology. By linking the victim's skin tissue directly to the suspected ligature, the CBI has a tangible mechanism of death, which increases the likelihood of securing remands and intensifying the legal pressure on the suspects.
