Electicution or Assault- A Case Report
Subscribe/Renew Journal
On 22 Jan 2006, the sub divisional magistrate ordered for an exhumation of a sensitive case. First autopsy was already done one month before by a medical officer. His report was confusing, not conclusive, and was vague. There was dispute in the death of an elderly man. The family members were suspecting that it was a murder. But the doctor's report in the opinion to the cause of death said "The death is due to electrocution, and is also possible due to hit over abdomen and scrotum". Hence exhumation was ordered.
