Summary This is a witness deposition (PW-7) in Sessions Case No. 58/2024 before the Additional Sessions Judge in Newasa, Maharashtra. Dr. Prasad Laxman Saigaonkar, a forensic medicine expert, testified on 18.03.2026 regarding his post-mortem examination of deceased Padma Bhausaheb Sawant conducted on 22.10.2021. The doctor detailed extensive injuries including contusions, abrasions, a displaced fracture, and critical internal hemorrhaging from ruptured mesenteric blood vessels and para-renal tissues. He opined that death resulted from hemorrhage and shock caused by blunt trauma from hard objects like kicks, fists, sticks, or iron rods—not from accidental falls.
