Twisha Sharma’s Father Challenges CBI Probe Into Death
Twisha Sharma died in circumstances that investigators have treated as a possible suicide.
The CBI recently filed a 636-page charge-sheet in the case.
It accused Twisha’s husband, Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, of several offenses.
Twisha’s father, Navnidhi Sharma, does not agree that she died by suicide.
He says the evidence points to a planned murder.
He also says the CBI relied too much on a second post-mortem report from AIIMS.
The family believes the two post-mortem reports contradict each other and that other evidence was ignored.
They plan to ask the court to examine the report and order a new investigation.
Navnidhi Sharma said his family is dissatisfied with the CBI investigation into Twisha Sharma’s purported suicide.
The CBI filed a 636-page charge-sheet accusing Samarth Singh and Giribala Singh of abetment of suicide, mental cruelty, common intention and dowry-related offenses.
Twisha’s father rejected the suicide conclusion and alleged that her death was a pre-planned murder covered up by her in-laws.
He claimed the charge-sheet relied mainly on an AIIMS second post-mortem report while omitting circumstantial evidence, including alleged CCTV tampering.
The family plans to challenge the second post-mortem report and seek a re-investigation in court.

Quotes
Navnidhi Sharma
Father of Twisha Sharma and critic of the CBI investigation
“We have been outrightly rejecting the claim that this was a suicide. This is a pre-planned murder case, which was covered up by AIIMS initially. And we feel that the influence (by Twisha’s in-laws) is still at work.”

“This is a pre-determined murder case where the accused (Twisha’s husband) was initially absconding, and his mother called up several influential people.”
