Accidental Smothering during Interrogation: A Case Report

Accidental smothering is not uncommon and, do occur during detention and interrogation, but not many cases are reported in the literature.Here I am reporting a case of accidental smothering, first from India, where the victim was being interrogated by three accused.When he started shouting for help, they wrapped a brown tape and greenish cloth around the mouth and nose covering both of them.The person initially resisted, but suddenly collapsed and died.
