Twisha Sharma originally from Noida in Uttar Pradesh, was found dead on May 12 at her marital home in Bhopal’s Bagh Mugalia Extension.

Samarth Singh, absconding husband of Twisha Sharma, who was allegedly harassed for dowry and died last week in Bhopal, reached the Jabalpur district court on Friday evening to surrender, his lawyer said. Visuals show Singh arriving wearing a cap, sunglasses, gamcha and face mask.

However, the court directed him to surrender before the appropriate court having jurisdiction in the matter, news agency PTI reported.

The development came around an hour after he withdrew his anticipatory bail application filed in the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

The court on Friday ordered a second post-mortem of Sharma’s body and directed that it be conducted by a team of doctors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, according to Bar and Bench.

Justice Avanindra Kumar Singh clarified that the second post-mortem would take place in Bhopal, and a special flight would be arranged to bring the doctors for the procedure.

The previous post-mortem report stated that Twisha Sharma died due to “antemortem hanging by ligature”. It also mentioned multiple simple injuries caused by blunt force on different parts of her body.
