Abstract
Wild beasts are responsible for a group of potentially lethal injuries, and India being a land of villages, attacks on humans by wild animals are not uncommon in rural India. While death due to a wild boar attack is rare, it is not unusual to encounter such cases. Death occurs if the incident occurred in uninhabited locations, leading to the victim's exsanguination. Due to the circumstances where the body was found and the nature, multiplicity of the injuries on the victim's body, the investigating officer could be misled and suspect it to be a case of homicide. The hallmark of a wild boar attack is the characteristic penetrating injuries on the lower part of the body, however, once the victim falls on the ground, the injury can be present anywhere on the body. This case is reported for the awareness on possible injuries in such unnatural deaths and to discuss the predisposing factors for such attacks.
