Medical reports from Bhopal AIIMS and Delhi AIIMS differ on whether the injuries on the deceased were caused by anti‑mortem trauma or by transport-related incidents.
The high‑profile death of 23‑year‑old Tvesha Sharma in Bhopal has drawn renewed scrutiny after two leading medical institutions presented divergent conclusions about the injuries found on her body. Sharma, whose death was initially recorded as a suspicious case, is at the centre of an ongoing investigation by local police and forensic experts.
A report issued by AIIMS Bhopal states that several bruises and lacerations are consistent with anti‑mortem trauma, suggesting that the injuries were inflicted while she was still alive. The Bhopal panel highlighted the pattern and depth of the wounds as indicative of forceful impact, which could point to foul play.
Conversely, a separate assessment from AIIMS Delhi concluded that the same injuries are more plausibly explained as occurring during the handling and transportation of the corpse. The Delhi experts argued that the bruises could result from rough movement, pressure, or accidental impacts while the body was being moved to the mortuary.
Both institutions have submitted their findings to the investigating officers, who have said that a forensic pathologist will review the reports to determine the most credible explanation. The discrepancy underscores the challenges faced by investigators in establishing a definitive cause of death in cases where medical opinions diverge.
Authorities have not yet disclosed any further details about potential suspects or the next steps in the probe, but they have affirmed that the matter remains under active examination.
