This study conducted is a small step to provide references for forensic people along with law enforcing agencies to know about the incidence of unnatural deaths so that we can try to reduce these unnatural deaths to minimum. In our study road traffic accidents cases are the commonest among various types of medicolegal post mortems followed by poisoning (9%), railway cases (6%), assault (6%) and fire arm injury (2%). Highest incidence of unnatural deaths is observed in males and the male: female ratio is 3:1.
