a) Mugging
b) Garrotting
c) Bansadola
d) None of the above
Correct Answer - A
Ans. is ‘a’ i.e., Mugging [Ref Reddy 30th/e p. 321]
Mugging: Strangulation is caused by holding the neck of the victim in
the bend of the elbow.
Garrotting: The victim is attacked from behind. The throat may be
grasped or a ligature is thrown over the neck & quickly tightened, by
twisting it with a lever, which results in sudden loss in consciousness
and collapse.
Bansdola: one strong bamboo or stick is placed across the back of
the neck & another across the front. Both the ends are tied with a
rope due to which the victim is squeezed to death
