Twisha Sharma’s Body Cremated After Second Autopsy, 12 Days After Her Death

Twisha Sharma’s remains were cremated following a second autopsy, twelve days post‑mortem

Twisha Sharma’s family allowed her cremation after a second autopsy was completed. The case, which has sparked public outrage, highlights procedural delays and lingering questions about the investigation.

Twisha Sharma, the 19‑year‑old whose tragic death captured headlines across the country, was finally cremated on Tuesday. The family gave consent after the police concluded a second autopsy, which took place twelve days after the teenager was found dead.

Police officials say the additional forensic examination was necessary to address lingering doubts about the cause of death. While the first post‑mortem, conducted shortly after the body was discovered, pointed to asphyxiation, the follow‑up aimed to verify those findings and rule out any foul play that might have been missed.

Friends and classmates of Twisha have expressed frustration, noting that the delay in moving forward with the cremation added to their grief. "We just wanted closure," one peer whispered, "but waiting for another report felt like another nightmare."

Officials maintain that all legal protocols were observed. The second autopsy report was handed over to the family, who then authorized the cremation. The ceremony itself was modest, attended by close relatives and a few friends, with many opting to stay home in quiet mourning.

Legal experts, however, caution that the case isn’t entirely closed. “Even after cremation, the investigation can proceed,” said a Delhi‑based criminal law analyst. “If new evidence surfaces, the police can still file charges or pursue further action.”

Twisha’s death continues to resonate on social media, with many urging for faster, more transparent investigations in similar cases. The hope is that her story will spark reforms, ensuring that families aren’t left waiting in limbo while authorities sort out procedural steps.
