We report a case of feticide and concealed birth, which was revealed on investigation and visit to the crime scene. After examination of blood stains for blood grouping and examination of alleged mother for signs of recent delivery, it was alleged to be a case of precipitate labor. The observations signify that the actions taken at the outset of an investigation at a crime scene can play a pivotal role in the resolution of a case. We discuss the medico-social perspectives of such cases.
