India, May 20 -- A court in Bhopal on Wednesday rejected the family's plea for a second autopsy of model-actor Twisha Sharma, deepening the controversy surrounding her death just five months after her marriage.

The 33-year-old model was found hanging at her marital home on May 12, barely five months after marrying lawyer Samarth Singh.

The court observed that the body could be preserved anywhere within Madhya Pradesh.

Notably, the police had already submitted in writing that they had no objection to a second post-mortem examination.
