‘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.

Speaking to ANI, Navnidhi Sharma said, “The team from AIIMS have arrived, and we are confident they will bring us justice. The discrepancies will come forth. 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. ”
