Abstract

From since a long time, in day to day work deaths due to pressure around the neck have been found tobe a common cause of death during post mortem examination. Hanging and ligature strangulation are thetwo forms of violent mechanical asphyxia in which ligature mark is found. The study was conducted indepartment of forensic medicine and toxicology at J.L.N. Medical College, Ajmer for a period of one yeari.e. from June 2019 to June 2020. During this period a total number of 104 cases of violent asphyxia deathcaused by pressure abrasion due to ligature were observed. In the present studytypes of ligature material usedand pressure abrasion produced by them in different situation and their manner of infliction is discussed. Inthis study chunni (soft material) was the most common ligature material used i.e. in 32.6% cases. Fixed knotpattern was the most common (94 %of total cases). Most of the cases were occurred in closed space (room)
