Therefore in this study we have tried to find out certain passive factors like time of violence and type of areas /location preferred for intentional violence so that government/ law enforcing agencies can take specific measures for its prevention.

It was observed that violence related injuries occurred mostly in the evening hours. Most of the cases i.e. 77.5 % were brought by the relatives directly to the hospital followed only by 15.5 % by police.
