Event Summary

A five-member medical board of the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) submitted its final forensic opinion to the United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on July 10, concluding that former model and actor Twisha Sharma died by suicide. The board found no injuries of medico-legal importance suggestive of physical assault or struggle. The opinion resolved disputes over the ligature material, identified as a gymnastics belt with a metal ring. The CBI has filed a 636-page chargesheet against Twisha's husband Samarth Singh and mother-in-law Giribala Singh under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and the Dowry system in India, alleging sustained mental cruelty, dowry harassment, and abetment of suicide. The chargesheet also alleges disputes over an unplanned pregnancy and a Rs 20 lakh investment. Twisha's maternal family had alleged murder, while her in-laws maintained it was suicide.
