Twisha Sharma’s Family Pleads for a Second Post‑mortem as They Say ‘No One Is Helping Us’

When Twisha Sharma’s body was first examined, the report quickly became a source of controversy. Her family, still reeling from the loss, says the findings don’t line up with what they witnessed at the scene. “We’re left in the dark, with no one to help us,” a relative told reporters, voice trembling.

Determined to get answers, the Sharma family filed a petition in the Bhopal District Court, urging the magistrate to order a second post‑mortem. Their argument is simple yet compelling: the first autopsy was either rushed or flawed, and a fresh set of eyes could reveal crucial details that were missed.

Legal experts note that courts in India do sometimes order repeat examinations, especially when the family raises genuine doubts or new evidence surfaces. “The judiciary is not indifferent,” says advocate Neeraj Mehta. “If there’s a reasonable ground to suspect an error, a second autopsy can be mandated.”

Meanwhile, the police have remained tight‑lipped, neither confirming nor denying any procedural lapses. This silence has only fueled the family’s frustration. They claim they have been shuffled from one officer to another, receiving no concrete guidance on what steps to take next.

Friends and neighbours of Twisha have taken to social media, sharing memories and demanding transparency. The outpouring of support has turned the case into a broader conversation about how the system handles grieving families, especially in sensitive investigations.

As the court deliberates, the Sharma family hopes the second post‑mortem will finally bring closure. “We just want the truth,” the petitioner said, eyes brimming with tears. “If the law can give us that, then at least we won’t be left alone in this.”
