Abstract Introduction: Fabricated wounds (fictitious, forged, or invented) wounds can be ‘self-inflicted’ when a person produces a wound himself on his body or self-suffered when a wound is produced by some other person on his body. The main motive here is to bring a false charge of assault on a person of enmity. Case report: An adult male came to the emergency department of a tertiary care center with an injury mark on the right flank of the abdomen. According to the history given by the patient, this injury was a result of the projectile of a firearm allegedly shot at him by his enemy. Further investigation proved that this was a fabricated wound. Conclusion: In the case we have reported it was concluded that the injury mark on the body of the patient was a forged wound. The method used for fabrication is unusual and rare, as per our knowledge this type of case has not been reported earlier in the literature.
