The AIIMS medical board conducted a second postmortem in the Twisha Sharma case, confirming that skin tissues found on a gymnastics belt with a metal ring matched the injuries on her neck.

This forensic evidence, submitted to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a sealed cover, resolves a major dispute over the ligature material used in her hanging death.The Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered the second postmortem after the initial autopsy failed to determine the ligature's identity.Laboratory examinations revealed skin tissue on the belt, aligning with the injury pattern.The report, kept confidential per court directions, was handed to the CBI, while the videography remains with the investigating agency.

Dr Sudhir Gupta, head of AIIMS' forensic department, emphasized the scientific rigor of the findings, stating it provides a clear conclusion for the CBI and judiciary.

The case, involving the daughter-in-law of retired Judge Giribala Singh, highlights the complexities of forensic investigations in dowry death cases, with the court's directives ensuring transparency and judicial oversight.
