Twisha's brother Major Harshit Sharma performed rituals of the last rites and lit fire to her funeral pyre.

The funeral was held shortly after Twisha's body was handed over to her grieving family from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhopal mortuary after senior doctors of AIIMS Delhi conducted her second autopsy. The second post-mortem was necessitated after serious lapses were flagged in the first one.

Tragedy After 5 Months Of Marriage

Twisha Sharma, who was 33 years old, had got married to Bhopal-based lawyer Samarth Singh just five months before she was found hanging from the rooftop of her matrimonial home under mysterious circumstances.

Earlier suspected to be a case of suicide, Twisha's death mystery deepened as her family alleged that she was murdered. Suspicious heightened over the nature and the cause of her death since her husband went missing after her death.

Twisha's family also pointed to multiple injury marks on her body, alleging that she was murdered, and did not commit suicide. It is also alleged that Twisha terminated her pregnancy after her husband questioned her whose child she was carrying, accusing her of having extra-marital affair.

Further, Samarth's mother Giri Bala Singh, who is a former judge, dialled several influential people shortly after Twisha's death, giving rise to allegations of “judicial cover-up”.

Husband Under Police Custody

Twisha's husband Samarth Singh has been sent to police custody for seven days in the alleged dowry death of his wife. Police have reportedly also claimed that he is not cooperating with the investigation.

Notably, he had been absconding for 10 days after Twisha's death.
