A second autopsy conducted by AIIMS Delhi doctors has confirmed that Twisha Sharma died by suicide, ruling out assault. However, the CBI chargesheet reveals a harrowing pattern of mental cruelty and psychological harassment by her husband and mother-in-law.
- AIIMS Delhi medical board confirms death by asphyxia due to hanging with a gymnastic belt.
- CBI rules out physical assault or struggle prior to death.
- Chargesheet details systemic mental cruelty, harassment, and disputes over an unplanned pregnancy.
- Husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh are accused of psychological abuse.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has officially filed its chargesheet in the death case of Twisha Sharma, bringing a medical conclusion to the cause of death while exposing a toxic domestic environment. According to the report, a second post-mortem examination conducted by a specialized medical board from AIIMS Delhi confirmed that Sharma died of asphyxia resulting from hanging. The tool used was identified as a gymnastic belt fitted with a ring.
The second autopsy was commissioned after the victim's family raised concerns that the initial report might have been manipulated. The AIIMS findings were definitive: there were no injuries on the body to suggest that Twisha had been assaulted or involved in a physical scuffle before her death on May 12 at her in-laws' residence in Bhopal. This medical evidence effectively shifts the legal focus from homicide to the circumstances that drove the 33-year-old to take her own life.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that this case highlights a critical intersection between medical forensics and domestic psychological warfare. While the physical cause of death is suicide, the CBI's detailed reconstruction of events suggests a 'slow-burn' tragedy. The legal battle now pivots from 'how she died' to 'who is responsible for the mental state that led to her death,' emphasizing the gravity of mental cruelty as a criminal catalyst.
The investigation reveals that Twisha was subjected to continuous mental cruelty by her husband, Samarth Singh, following their marriage in December 2025. The CBI alleges that Samarth frequently humiliated her and made derogatory remarks about her past. Furthermore, his mother, Giribala Singh, is accused of instigating Samarth and shielding him from accountability, creating an environment of isolation for Twisha.
"The transition from physical evidence to psychological profiling in CBI chargesheets often reveals that domestic toxicity can be as lethal as physical violence."
A major flashpoint in the marriage was an unplanned pregnancy discovered on April 16. The chargesheet indicates that Twisha felt immense pressure and harassment regarding the pregnancy. She eventually decided to terminate it, a decision that reportedly infuriated her in-laws. This conflict led her to seek psychiatric help, where she was found to be severely anxious and stressed. Despite attempts at professional counseling on May 12, the relationship remained fractured.
The CBI's reconstruction of Twisha's final hours, based on CCTV footage and digital records, paints a grim picture. Shortly before her death, she had communicated her distress to her sister-in-law, noting Samarth's aggression. This sequence of events suggests a state of total emotional collapse following a final failed attempt at marital reconciliation through therapy.
