Popis: Choking is the obstruction of the flow of air into the lungs and is almost always accidental. In this paper, a case of choking mistaken as death due to police torture is reported. A man was brought by the police to a hospital in Imphal, and the person expired on reaching there. Family members alleged that the police had a hand in the victim's death and that he died due to their torture. A meticulous autopsy helped in establishing the exact cause of death in this case thereby disproving the false charge of assault.
