We report a case of a 52-year-old businessman who was allegedly injected with organochloro compound (OC) in his abdomen by his business rivals by means of a surgical needle and a syringe. Homicide by OC injection via an intraperitoneal route has not been reported in the literature. Postmortem findings along with the toxicology report have been discussed particularly in view of the mode of poison administration with a review of literature.
