The case is weird actually and unless (a) the post mortem report is known and (b) The post mortem is done by a competent doctor who cannot be bribed we will not know. The boy apparently had a head injury from an accident a couple of days prior to this fight after which he was found dead with bleeding from ears and nose. From a medical standpoint bleeding from the ears could be a sign of what is called as a fracture of the "base of skull" and if the earlier head injury was that sever the boy should have had a CT scan and not sent off with some treatment. Any punches on the face would only aggravate any pre-existing injury, But I would have thought that a base of skull fracture from punches would be rare. It is possible but the punches would have to be hard enough to leave some pretty severe external damage. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/246077/no-racial-angle-manipuri- students.html > According to the police, Loitam was involved in an accident on the night of > April 15 when he was riding his friend Vishal Banerjee’s two-wheeler.
