Twisha Sharma Death Case: In a fresh development in the mysterious death case of Twisha Sharma, police have intensified efforts to trace the main accused, Samarth Singh. A lookout notice has been issued against him, and multiple police teams are conducting searches across Madhya Pradesh and other states.
Police have also initiated proceedings with the Passport Office to revoke Samarth's passport, suspecting that he may attempt to flee abroad.
Her father, Navnidhi Sharma, has openly accused the authorities of a possible conspiracy and has refused to accept his daughter's body until a second post-mortem is conducted.
A six-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed by the Bhopal Police, and a case has been registered against Twisha's husband, Samarth, and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, under provisions related to dowry death and harassment.
Authorities said efforts are underway to arrest Samarth at the earliest. The lookout notice has been circulated to all airports and border checkpoints to prevent him from leaving the country.
Earlier in the day, the case took another turn after the preliminary post-mortem report from AIIMS Bhopal noted the presence of multiple injury marks on Twisha Sharma's body. According to the report, the Investigating Officer did not produce the belt allegedly used for hanging before the doctors during the examination. As a result, the medical team could not scientifically compare the alleged hanging instrument with the ligature marks found on the woman's neck.
Meanwhile, Twisha's family has maintained that this lapse has weakened the evidentiary value of a crucial piece of material evidence. The alleged nylon belt, which police said was recovered from the crime scene, could have played a key role in establishing the exact cause and manner of death.
