Foreign body in the rectum has been reported frequently, attributed to whatever may be the cause. If the cause for it is assault or torture, then to quantify the trauma/pain either local or mental cannot be ascertained since it is a subjective matter although it is highly painful and embarrassing for the person who sustains the assault. A unique case of assault for the purpose of torture given to a man about 30 years of age was encountered, that is a forceful insertion of a ceramic tea cup in the rectum by a group of people the reason being defecated in their field. Here we present the surgical and legal aspect of such case.
