Forty five years male was accidentally strangled when his shawl was caught in a moving electrical crop thrasher used for separating the grains from dry crops kept after cutting in the field. He was immediately taken to the nearest hospital. He was unconscious. He died after six days. Accidental ligature strangulation in this fashion due to such electrical machine is very rare and not reported previously to the best of our knowledge.
