Twisha Sharma's mother-in-law alleges she underwent an MTP and was estranged from her parents. Twisha's father claims dowry harassment and demands a fresh autopsy, suspecting murder and accusing the son-in-law of drug addiction.
Twisha Sharma's mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh, alleges Twisha underwent a medical termination of pregnancy and had estrangement from her parents. Singh also claims Twisha was on psychiatric medication and experienced withdrawal symptoms before her death on May 12. Twisha's father, Navnidhi Sharma, disputes these claims, suspecting murder and alleging his son-in-law is a drug addict.
In a wave of legal challenges tied to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act, doctors are under heightened scrutiny. Even with an expanded window for obtaining abortions, critics argue that the legislation still favors medical authority over women's rights to choose. Advocates are pushing for the complete decriminalization of abortion and full autonomy for women in making these decisions.
