Abstract
The physical examination of patients with injuries that have been self-inflicted deliberately is part of the routine work in clinical forensic medicine. We came across a series of cases where fractures on the skull and other injuries were present, which individually were inconclusive however when studied together revealed a startling pattern. Most of the cases showed scalp and skull injury of similar size at a similar location and attended to by specific group of doctors in a government setup or in a particular private hospital. A total of 89 cases were received from senior superintendent of police regarding the injuries and the nature along with the request to give expert opinion as early as possible
