# Twisha Sharma cremated 12 days after death, second autopsy done 2026-08-19T18:33:29+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Former model and actor Twisha Sharma, who died at her marital home in Bhopal on May 12 allegedly due to dowry harassment, was cremated on Sunday after a team of doctors from AIIMS Delhi completed a second postmortem. The last rites were held at Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat after 5 PM, with her mother and family inconsolable. Twisha, 33, was found hanging at her home in Katara Hills. Her family accused her in-laws of dowry harassment and abetment to suicide. The in-laws claimed she had a drug addiction. Police have filed an FIR against her husband Samarth Singh, a lawyer, and mother-in-law Giribala Singh, a former district judge, on charges of dowry harassment. Samarth Singh was arrested in Jabalpur on Friday after being absconding for 10 days. A Bhopal court sent him to seven-day police remand on Saturday. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The case echoes a pattern where delayed autopsies and family allegations of dowry death spark public outrage. Twisha's family demanded a second postmortem to counter claims of drug addiction, a common defence in such cases. The accused include a former judge, which may influence proceedings. Under Section 304B of the IPC, dowry death carries a minimum seven-year sentence. The next key date is the end of the husband's police remand, when chargesheet or further investigation decisions will emerge. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in Straight PTI wire copy with no framing beyond factual reporting of events and quotes.
