In this modern world people become busy and more casual. In the 8th century BC Chinese emperors kept eunuchs to guard their harems and also used them as domestic servants. Since long there has been a tradition in India that at the auspicious occasions eunuchs go to houses where celebrations are being held. Now a day's people become more perverted. A perverted person is one who gets sexual gratification by doing some unnatural acts. Transvestism is type of sexual perversion in which a person gets sexual gratification by wearing the garments of the opposite sex. Sodomy is a type of unnatural sexual offence. In metros both Hijrahs and Zananas are professionally working as catamites for earning their livelihood.
This was a case of sexual perversion coming to the mortuary of Forensic Medicine, Gauhati Medical College and Hospital. On examination it was found to be a case of sodomy followed by strangulation. This was an uncommon case and needs a thorough discussion. Here the case and the various autopsy findings were discussed in details.
