AIIMS Delhi has constituted a medical board comprising four senior doctors to conduct a second autopsy of actor-model Twisha Sharma in Bhopal following the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order.
Chief of Forensic Medicine at AIIMS Delhi, Dr Sudhir Gupta, on Saturday said, "The team, along with the latest instruments, will fly by a state chartered plane at 6 pm today."
The body of the 33-year-old actor-model is currently kept at the mortuary of AIIMS Bhopal, he said.
The high-profile death case saw fast-paced developments on Friday with the victim's absconding husband withdrawing his anticipatory bail plea and his mother, retired judge Giribala Singh, was served a notice for the cancellation of her bail over non-cooperation with the police.
On Saturday, Singh said that she would be happy to record her statement, but Bhopal police have not reached out to her. "I cannot venture out of my home. Yesterday [Friday], a car hit my advocate. I will be happy to give my statement," she said.
Samarth Singh, husband of the model-turned-actor, who was arrested in connection with her death, was brought to Bhopal in the early hours of Saturday. The court granted the police seven days' custody of the accused for interrogation.
Twisha, a Noida native, was found dead at her marital home in Bhopal on May 12. While her in-laws allege she suffered from drug addiction, her family maintains she was harassed for dowry, leading to her death.
