Blood group antigens A and B are not only confined to red cells but can be detected in other tissue cells and in body fluids. They have wide distribution and have been found in saliva, gastric juice, semen, ovarian cyst fluid, amniotic fluid and in smaller quantities in sweat,tears,bile,milk,urine etc [except CSF]. It has been established that, secretion of group specific substances is controlled by a pair of alleles Se and se. Thus, individuals can be homozygous [SeSe], heterozygous [Sese] or homozygous [sese]. The first 2 classes are called secretors and third class, non-secretor. Presence of blood and body fluids like saliva, semen etc on victims body provides important clue in crime investigation. A sample of saliva may be obtained from both the suspect as well as the victim in crimes to determine secretor status. The present study is done to determine the secretor status in 105 normal healthy subjects and to study the distribution of blood groups, secretors and non-secretors in normal healthy population, so that the knowledge of secretor status provides a useful tool in medicolegal cases for detection of suspected crime.Keywords

Assessment of time since death is subjected to variable variations because in Biology, variation is a rule and stability is an exception, whereas in Science, stability is a rule and variation is an exception. The time of death estimation plays important role in solving both criminal and civil cases. Many factors contribute to great intra and inter individual variability of gastric emptying. This study is undertaken to collect available literature for reference and to form a common opinion that the doctor can depose safely. During medico-legal autopsy, if the doctor finds distinguishable full meal in the stomach, it would suggest that the victim died within 2 hours after the last meal and 4 hours if it is indistinguishable.Keywords

Death from hanging and ligature strangulation are commonly encountered in medico legal autopsy, distinction between these two forms of mechanical asphyxia is of utmost important in furnishing opinion as to the manner of death. Prevalence of hanging and ligature strangulation cases by their ratio and structural damage in neck structures among these cases were studied in this research work done at mortuary attached to Victoria Hospital BMC Bangalore for the period of two years. Autopsy findings are noted and conclusions were drawn. Only 23 [ 3.41 %] cases of ligature strangulation against 673 cases of hanging, indicating hanging is more common than ligature strangulation. Male to female ratio of hanging cases is 7:5 and that of strangulation cases is approximately 7:5. Structural damage in neck structures in cases of ligature strangulation is invariably present in all the cases unlike hanging cases. Unusual contusion of soft tissues in the neck in case of death due hanging should be ruled out beyond reasonable doubt. Extensive structural damage in the neck structures in case of death due to Ligature strangulation is the rule.Keywords

The present modern day culture still has the ancient evils of civilization. In spite of the increase in educational status of most parts of the country, dowry related harassments and deaths are on the rise with every coming year. The objectives of my study are to find out the incidence, cause and mode of death in the victims dowry harassment, to study their educational and occupational status. The present study was conducted at Dept. of Forensic medicine, Victoria Hospital, Bangalore, on all married women dying within 7 years of married life, booked under section 304(B), 306, 498(A), 302IPC&176CrPC, in cases where inquest was conducted by executive magistrate. From the present study, alleged dowry death cases constitute 4.06%of total autopsies and 11.74% of female autopsies. Most of the dowry deaths occur in Hindu families and burning is the most common mode of dowry death. Most of the victims were of below matriculate, house wives. The menace of dowry harassment and deaths cannot be tackled with legislation alone; it needs socioeconomic and educational reforms.Keywords
