The Madhya Pradesh High Court has allowed a second autopsy in the death case of Twisha Sharma, a significant development in the ongoing investigation. The court directed the state government to make arrangements for a team of doctors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi to be flown to Bhopal for the procedure.
Court Order and Implications
The order came after a petition sought a fresh post-mortem examination citing doubts over the initial autopsy report. The High Court emphasized the need for an unbiased and expert opinion to ensure justice. The AIIMS team will conduct the second autopsy at a designated hospital in Bhopal under strict supervision.
State Government's Responsibility
The state government has been instructed to facilitate all logistical arrangements, including transportation and security for the medical team. The court also directed that the entire process be videographed to maintain transparency.
Twisha Sharma's family has expressed hope that the second autopsy will reveal the true cause of death, which they believe was not accurately determined earlier. The case has drawn significant public attention, with demands for a thorough investigation.
The High Court's decision is seen as a step towards ensuring a fair inquiry. The AIIMS team is expected to arrive in Bhopal within a week to carry out the autopsy.
