Big twist in Twisha Sharma case: AIIMS medical board in Delhi handed over final forensic report to CBI . Delivered in a sealed cover,report tackles key questions about ligature material supposedly used in Sharma's death.
Sharma,daughter-in-law of retired Principal District Judge Giribala Singh,found hanging at her Bhopal home earlier this year. Her family,unhappy with initial investigation,went to Madhya Pradesh High Court,leading to AIIMS redoing the postmortem.
Central issue: was a gymnastics belt with metal ring really used for hanging and did it match injuries on Sharma's neck? First postmortem didn't clarify,since ligature material wasn't available then .
On May 22,Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered a new medical board for a second postmortem. AIIMS put together a five-member team from Forensic Medicine department . They did the examination on May 24 and checked out the crime scene for more context.
Lab and histopath tests found skin tissue on ligature,matching injury pattern on Sharma's neck . But report's specific findings stay confidential,submitted to CBI as per court orders .
Dr. Sudhir Gupta,head of AIIMS' Forensic Medicine,stressed thoroughness of investigation. Said team reviewed all aspects,consulted various journals for nearly a month. Called opinion "crystal-clear" for CBI and judiciary,to uncover truth.
Despite thorough report,Dr. Gupta didn't share details. Findings were given to CBI on July 10,11-page report and second postmortem videography now with agency.
AIIMS report expected to be crucial in ongoing CBI probe. Agency is looking into circumstances of Sharma's death,which has caught much public and media attention .
Case raises questions about initial investigation's adequacy and first postmortem procedures. Family's push for re-examination shows broader concerns over handling of sensitive cases in India.
As CBI digs deeper,AIIMS findings could be key forensic evidence,possibly steering investigation's direction. Case stays hot topic in talks about judicial processes and forensic science's role in solving tough legal issues…
