00:12The High Court has said that Twisha's body must be preserved.
00:15The government has said that they do not have any objection to the second post-mortem.
00:19Solicitor General has suggested that Ames Delhi is where the second post-mortem must be done.
00:25Which means that a second post-mortem is now the way forward in this investigation
00:31as had been proposed by Twisha's family, the demand that they had made.
00:35This even as Giribala Singh's lawyer had argued, why a second post-mortem?
00:41Twisha's body must be cremated.
00:43It's an insult to the doctors if a second post-mortem is demanded.
00:46But the family has allayed fears, has allayed suspicion and doubts
00:50in the manner in which the investigation has been done so far.
00:54There are several unanswered questions and why is it that certain questions
01:02on the marks on Twisha's body, the belt that she had used to commit suicide,
01:08that belt was not taken by the investigation officers
01:11and why that was not taken into consideration.
01:14So all these questions that had been raised by Twisha's family,
01:19basis which they had demanded a second post-mortem to be performed,
01:22has now been given a go-ahead by the Madhya Pradesh High Court
01:26that has agreed to a second autopsy of Twisha.
01:29The High Court has said that Twisha's body must be preserved.
01:32Government also saying that there is no objection to the second post-mortem.
01:36This, remember, as the Madhya Pradesh government has also demanded
01:40CBI investigation in this case.
01:43A second post-mortem will now be conducted for Twisha.
01:46Solicitor General saying that Ames Delhi would be correct
01:53for the second post-mortem to be conducted.
01:57This as objections were raised by Giribala Singh's lawyer
02:01where the in-laws had demanded that Twisha's body must be cremated.
02:06But the High Court has rejected that demand
02:09and the High Court has accepted the demand of Twisha's family
02:13that had said that a second autopsy must be done.
02:16The High Court has cleared the way for Twisha's family
02:19saying that the body must be preserved
02:21and a second post-mortem must be done.
02:23That's the latest development that has come in
02:26in the Madhya Pradesh High Court.

02:29in just the last few minutes
02:31that the hearing began in the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
02:35Fast-paced developments that have come in in the Twisha case.
02:38So remember that 10 days that Twisha's husband was on the run.
02:42Samar Singh who had evaded the investigation
02:45and now suddenly he's decided to surrender.
02:48Suddenly he has said that after surrendering
02:50is when he will apply for bail
02:52rather than pushing for an anticipatory bail.
02:55That is one development.

03:07where the SG has said
03:08that it should be done at Ains Delhi.
03:10Let me quickly bring in Anisha Mathur

03:13in the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
03:14Anisha, important there
03:15because the court has paved the way
03:18for the second post-mortem of Twisha.
03:22This is a big win for the family
03:23that had been demanding a second post-mortem.
03:28Yes, Suyesha, the family of Twisha
03:31had been calling for a second post-mortem
03:33saying that there were certain problems.
03:36Interestingly, in the hearing,
03:38Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said
03:39that while the government has no question,
03:43the government is not disputing
03:45or alleging that there was any error
03:47in this first post-mortem,
03:49the government has no objections
03:51if a second post-mortem is done.
03:54The court in its order
03:55has taken note of this fact
03:57that this argument by the Solicitor General.
04:00It has also said
04:01that it would be for everyone's good
04:03that a second post-mortem is conducted.
04:08Specialists' team from Ains Delhi
04:10will now be sent to Bhopal
04:12to conduct the second post-mortem
04:14because the court had asked specifically
04:16how exactly are you going to move the body?
04:18There are concerns about deterioration,
04:21regarding damage,
04:22all of those issues.
04:23And that is why instead of moving the body,
04:26a team of specialists from Delhi
04:27is going to come to Bhopal now.
04:30Now, Suresha, as we speak,
04:32the arguments regarding
04:35cancellation of anticipatory bail
04:37have now begun
04:38in the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
04:43And right now, I can tell you

04:48is represented by the Solicitor General.

05:18a demand that had been made
05:20by Suresha's family

05:22in the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
05:23Not to forget
05:24how Suresha's in-laws
05:27presented an objection to it.
05:29Suresha's mother-in-law,
05:31her lawyer,
05:32who is arguing for her in court,
05:34had said that
05:34why is it
05:35that the family
05:36is not taking Suresha's body
05:38and performing
05:39the last rites?
05:40But that is a demand
05:41that was rejected
05:42by the Madhya Pradesh High Court
05:44that instead
05:45gave in to the demand
