54. Dr. Deonandan Prasad (P.W. 17) throws more light on what actually had happened in the post- mortem room. He, on being questioned, told the Court that hanging could be of two types, viz., complete and partial hanging. In partial hanging, body rests on the ground. It occurs while sitting, reclining or in any other posture. In partial hanging, even a low point of hanging could be used. On being specifically questioned whether in such partial hanging, death would, for sure, ensue, he had no clue as he had not read any medical explanation regarding such slow death in cases of partial hanging.
