Bhopal, May 24: The funeral of Twisha Sharma will take place today at 5 PM at Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat, 13 days after her alleged suicide. A team of senior doctors from AIIMS Delhi is currently conducting a second autopsy on her body.
The decision for a second autopsy was made following objections raised by Twisha’s family regarding the initial report dated May 13. A four-member medical board from AIIMS Delhi arrived in Bhopal on Saturday evening, led by Dr. Sudhir Gupta, head of the Forensic Medicine Department.
In an emotional statement released before the funeral, Twisha’s father, Nav Nidhi Sharma, expressed that the family has endured “deep sorrow, unbearable pain, and prolonged uncertainty” over the past 13 days.
The statement read, “With immense grief and a heavy heart, the family of the late Twisha Sharma announces that her funeral will be held today at 5 PM at Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat in Bhopal.”
The family noted that the delay in the funeral has exacerbated their emotional trauma, particularly since many post-death rituals in Hinduism are traditionally completed within a 13-day mourning period.
The statement further revealed that the family is finally able to conduct the funeral, but this painful reality has completely shattered them emotionally.
Twisha Sharma was found dead under suspicious circumstances on May 12, prompting calls for a fair investigation. Her family reiterated their cooperation with the inquiry and their faith in the legal process.
The family’s sole request is for all investigations to be conducted fairly, transparently, independently, and in full accordance with the law.
