‘They will bring justice’: Twisha’s father shows hope
Expressing confidence in the investigation, Twisha Sharma’s father Navnidhi Sharma on Sunday said the truth would come out as a medical team from AIIMS arrived in Bhopal to conduct a second post-mortem examination.

We were called for the body recognition protocol. Thanks to everyone, including the Chief Minister, who took cognisance and gave a recommendation of the CBI. This case will become a lesson, and anyone will think multiple times before doing such a thing with a daughter. ”
