Abstract

A marvellous case of multifactoral injuries inflicted upon the human body came to fore in January 2000, when a young, adult, male dead body was found on the roadside with his hands tied by a cloth on the back and the head crushed under the vehicular wheel, in the morning hours. It is a classical case of inflicting several injuries over the body and then trying to crush it under the vehicle, throwing it roadside, to simulate with road traffic accident.
