A statement issued by his office said that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday assured the family of the 33-year-old woman from Noida who was found dead inside her matrimonial home in Bhopal that the state government would extend full support in the matter.
He also said that a letter will be sent to the CBI regarding the investigation into the case.
Yadav said the court would take a decision on the autopsy of the deceased for the second time. If the family wishes, transportation arrangements will be made to transport the remains to AIIMS Delhi, the statement added.
Bhopal woman’s family demands autopsy for second time
The 33-year-old woman from Noida was found dead in her matrimonial home just five months after she became part of a prominent legal family in Bhopal.
Her family later alleged that she was mentally harassed, abused and pressured by her husband and in-laws over her demand for dowry.
Later, the family approached a local court in Bhopal demanding a new examination of the body. Their counsel, advocate Ankur Pandey, told news agency PTI that they had expressed concerns about flaws in the investigation and said the FIR was registered three days after she was found dead.
The case was scheduled to be heard in court on Wednesday.
Bhopal Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar also told PTI on Wednesday that a request for a second autopsy had been included in the case diary, but said the final decision rests with the court.
On Wednesday, Bhopal police asked the woman’s family to take custody of her body, saying there were fears that it might start decomposing as AIIMS Bhopal does not have ultra-low temperature storage facilities.
Bhopal woman death case
The Noida resident married Bhopal resident Samarth Singh in December 2025. She died on May 12, and her family has accused her in-laws of mentally harassing her and subjecting her to dowry-related abuse.
The police registered an FIR against her husband, lawyer Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law Gribala Singh on charges related to dowry death and harassment.
Lawyer Pandey said her parents were concerned that Gribala Singh’s sister, who works as a surgeon in Bhopal, could influence the second autopsy if it was conducted in the city.
The family continued to press for another post-mortem examination, claiming that signs of injury on her body were not properly documented in the first report.
