The ligature belt with which Twisha was found hanging, that important evidence was not secured as per rules after the incident. The investigation revealed that instead of immediately submitting the ligature belt recovered from the crime scene for forensic procedure, the concerned investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Dinesh Sharma, kept it in his car for about two days. When questions arose regarding this crucial evidence and a stir was created, it was hastily sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).

Even during the post-mortem, this ligature belt was not deposited at AIIMS Hospital. Ligature belt that increased suspicion of murder Twisha’s family members had expressed suspicion of murder from the beginning, calling the death suspicious. Their suspicions deepened when they learned that the ligature belt used in the hanging was not clearly available in the investigation records and medical documents. The family alleged that if it was indeed a suicide, why was the object used in the noose not kept safe and why was it not made part of the investigation process. This point gave a new turn to the investigation of the case. The absence of the ligature belt raised questions about the claim of suicide and strengthened the suspicion of murder. Later, when it came to light that the belt was in the possession of the police officer and remained in his car for a day, the investigating agency took this entire incident seriously. Investigation into job and financial troubles as well Meanwhile, it has also come to light in the investigation that Twisha Sharma had not received regular salary for the last six-seven months from the company where she was employed. Investigating agencies are also trying to ascertain whether financial stress, disputes in personal relationships, or other circumstances were affecting her mental state.
